Do I have a good system?

[TheCoder2019]

During COVID-19, nothing is being shipped. I just want to know if the parts that I chose are ‘good for gaming.’ I only have a budget of $300, so here is my list. I will NOT be using a GPU, I will be using onboard. Big oof. I will be using fan header splitters. If you can find any cheap GPUs, please reply with the link. Much appreciated. By the way, LINUS, IF YOU ARE READING THIS, PLEASE ROAST ME! This is my FIRST time building a PC.

Not gonna go well lmao. Maybe you can run Minecraft single-player.

I had a similar setup running CS:GO, and hit 40fps at 1024x768 with lowest settings. Minecraft was at 40fps in single player and 10-15 in multiplayer servers

I was also doing around 7-20fps in GTA V, at 320x240 at the lowest settings. Not fun to play.

 

Best choice is used GPU, but that depends on region

Here's a part list, but note that this could be significantly better with a used GPU(Can't really help there, used gpu prices vary wildly from place to place)

The build below should play games better than your linked build

Also, if you don't already have an SSD, please just invest in a 120gb one for Windows 10 and maybe a few small games. It makes your computer feel so much faster in a lot of things you do.

Where's your storage? I'm also sure you know this, but this won't be running any games over 20 pixels (figuratively).

I'm not sure but that specs list is so bad that it doesn't need a fan (no offense)

My CPU which is a bit better than that only needs one fan and the CPU cooler (you obviously need a cpu cooler)

I have a 32GB SATA III SSD for boot and a  1TB SATA III HDD for storage

Is 32GB even enough? I'm currently using a 120GB ssd with about 27GB left, and I don't really install anything on it. I'd save up some more money if I were you, or just buy a 2nd hand computer from someone.
