Mark, he doesn't NEED an i5 unless he is doing serious heavy duty 3d rendering. To play games you can use even a core duo.
But the i3-2120 has hyperthreading, which i think the 3220 does not. Might as well grab a 2120.
And since this setup seems pretty expensive, you may aswell switch up your RAM for a 1866mhz set.

Your processor is a little outdated since it's a dual core. Upgrading to an i5 should be good enough for gaming. Other than that the build is pretty solid. Just make sure your motherboard can support i5 processors before you try anything.

right of the hop I would upgrade your CPU, to i5 at least, I recommend the intel i5 2400k, its the best bang for your buck, other then that its actually not to bad, change up your possessor and its a really solid build
