GF's build, is their point in adding a GPU?

So I'm building a system for my girlfriend cause she really needs one but she's on an extremely low budget and this is the partslist for her: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/hPjB99

I'll be giving her storage and an OS and I have a XFX 5450 lying around and was wondering if it would improve her performance in games at all?

I know it's a bad gpu but I'm just checking aha, any response will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I dunno about a 5450's power consumption but is that a 300 wPSU that comes with a 25$ (not dollar but ya know) case?  probably better not

edit: does not look like there is an expansion slot in that case for one either

Good god, you spent too little money.

I've never even seen an AM1 board before. 5000 series GPUs are going to be extremely weak in modern games, hell I have very little faith that it'll run source 1 games...

I'd save up money for a few months and then build a 500-600 dollar PC. That thing will be so underpowered, that you'll probably spend about as much on upgrades, not to mention the 100 euros already

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!

You haven't responded to your own thread, so I'm going to assume you didn't follow it
