Hello! My name is Todd, I am thinking of purchasing a gaming Pc. It is a custom built it's 475 - 500 the specs are:

Intel i5 2320

8gb ram

B75 chipset

NVIDIA GeForce 750Ti

And 500gb storage

Do you think it's worth it and or good, it seems ok but I'm new to learning about computers 

Please let me know!

- Todd

That's a good $200 PC right there

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

for 500 it's extremely overpriced considering the currency you mentioned is USD

It's AUD not USD

Went with the cheapest option and also guaranteed compatibility with B450 regardless of BIOS version.

 

Overclocking also didn't seem like a priority

Don't do it. GPU is old. CPU is old! You want 16gb ram. Save up and buy something newer.

CPU: Ryzen 5800X3D | Motherboard: Gigabyte B550 Elite V2 | RAM: G.Skill Aegis 2x16gb 3200 @3600mhz | PSU: EVGA SuperNova 750 G3 | Monitor: LG 27GL850-B , Samsung C27HG70 | 
GPU: Red Devil RX 7900XT | Sound: Odac + Fiio E09K | Case: Fractal Design R6 TG Blackout |Storage: MP510 960gb and 860 Evo 500gb | Cooling: CPU: Noctua NH-D15 with one fan

FS in Denmark/EU:

Asus Dual GTX 1060 3GB. Used maximum 4 months total. Looks like new. Card never opened. Give me a price.
