You made a good choice for the budget for sure.
I game on 3 monitors hence why I need little higher specd machine but yours will play most games on high easily.
That AM3 chip can do 4.0 ghz if its the "BE" edition(Black Edition - unlocked multiplier). If it is, get an decent aftermarket CPU cooler from Artic or Corsair (40 bucks usually) and in bios change the multiplier and front side bus to get to around 4000 mhz total(200x20 is what most people go for). Give CPU 1.65 over stock 1.2 volts and you should be good, but watch the heat as 60 degrees is most you should make the CPU heat up.
