Optimization, And Price :)

Hello. Im working on getting a new PC but im trying to make sure its at least good enough to run small games. Thats why I dont have a GPU. Im relaying entirely on a APU and im wondering if the Athlon X4 845 is good enough for small games like. SCP Secret laboratory, Terraria, Portal, Escapist 2 and a few more games like that. I dont plan to run them at like 4k 60 FPS. I plan to run them at what they will run at well. Also if you know any places in Ontario mostly near the Ottawa area where some of my parts may be cheaper that will help out a lot. Im not picky about Used or New parts.

 

Anyways thanks for your time.

It's 445$ CAD and not 445$ USD however (yours was 200$ USD)

Plus, the power supply won't fry the PC instantly

Single channel RAM will cripple performance.

It's one of the cheapest RAM and it is 3000MHz, but ok:

Can't find any reviews, and I've never heard of GAMDIAS. The CX550 i put is 101% better most likely lol

I would consider saving up longer, but getting a much better system.

Looks like a solid budget build. 

How much are you paying for your RAM? Ryzen systems prefer duel channel memory over single channel.

Im not really sure but im looking for maybe 20 bucks at most. I can go value ram and will probably use value ram. Luckily all of my parts are amazon so I can order at the same time and pay less shipping fee.
