Okay.

What exactly are you asking?

I built an i5 gaming rig for less than $800 that is more than powerful enough to game at that resolution.

The only thing i would argue with would be the PSU, if there isn't going to be CF a 500w would be just fine

Otherwise it looks like it is going to be a good build and please make a build log for all the see

looks okay in my book. If you're overclocking, make sure that board has a lotus socket. Foxconn sockets were poorly designed for the p55 platform and burn out. Gigabyte uses both brands.
