Is this is a good gaming setup? I know it's not the best, but I can't afford the best :(. I should be able to afford an extra $50 more on the current total price, so if there are any different motherboards/CPU's etc, that are maybe a tad bit more expensive than the ones I currently have. Everything here has recieved 5 stars on www.newegg.com except the HDD which has a 4 star rating. I'll probably be adding another GPU to the setup later on in the year.

Yes 1. Personally I'd go with a Western Digital Caviar Black 7200 rpm 1 TB hard drive over the Seagate 2. Drop down to 4 GB of RAM, and put the extra $45 or so into a better video card, like the 6870 Radeon or 560 GTX 3. The ASRock P67 boards are excellent and get great reviews. Have the ASRock P67 Extreme 4 myself
