Nah, that's a fine CPU for gaming.
He'd have a better experience if he invested that $65 in his GPU.

I can't solve 4.
EDIT: Solved! Thanks for skyrim!
joking... that is a good pc for a low budget... maybe a better cpu if you want good games to run better.

Then when it comes time to upgrade, he'll need new everything a new opposed to just a CPU and GPU. AMD FX-9370 is comparable to i7 3770k in price and performance in most cases (if this is a gaming rig), the big difference is that's top of the line for AMD while Intel still has a few more CPU above that.
I like to look at the longevity of the parts, not just the best bang for the buck. If the OP has no intentions of upgrading until he rebuilds his entire PC, then ignore my comment!

Are the next CPU from AMD for AM3+ or is it similar to the last few generations where AM3+ could fit into AM3, but not every board supports it.
To be honest, I thought we were getting one more set of LGA1155 CPU, but I see Haswell is already out so I'd just go straight to LGA1150.

Well I need to get a new PC and as you can tell I'm low on funds. So is this a good build? Or should I replace some things?
LIST 1
Edit 1 : After seeing some of your suggestions here's an update , but I'm not sure about the case I think it's kinda small :
LIST 2
Edit 2 : Some of you said I should get AMD FX-6300 instead of an i3 and I'll be able to overclock in this one :
