I would like feedback and Any changes are nice if they improve performance/make it cheaper however a gpu is not needed for now as I won't be playing too many demanding games. Games I will play include: OSU!, Minecraft, spellbreak, totally accurate Battle simulator, roblox, minecraft dungeons, and maybe some emulation.

For the games you are going to play, I agree a dedicated GPU is not required. On a tight budget, this is probably around the best you can do

looks good to me. Hopefully By the time you are ready to add a GPU prices will have normalized a bit as they are insane right now. Intel integrated graphics punch just a touch above an Nvidia GT 1030 right now which is totally acceptable for most newer games at lower settings or slightly older games at low to medium settings. Keep in Mind that your integrated graphics is sharing memory with the CPU so try not to run a bunch of backroad tasks while gaming.

Will keep that in mind, worst that will be open might be one or two edge tabs or maybe discord but mostly just the game.

that seems acceptable to me. Just keep an eye on task manager if you decide to do anything intensive in the background such as twitch streaming or something along those lines.

Everything looks fine, just the Q300L is a little questionable.

 

It looks ventilated right? No. It really isn't. It sucks for airflow.

This looks worse but has much better airflow.

Thank you, have changed to buy that and I honestly dont mind the looks as it has a certain charm to that I quite like. And the extra airflow is great considering that it will be in a small ish space between my desk and wall.

It will, it's 6mm under the limit, a little tight but it'll fit.
