I'm assuming the gpu is taking up a massive part of the budget which is why the rest of the specs are low end yeah?

Could you please include the prices you've found for those parts?

 

I'm going to assume the 1650 is criminally overpriced if the rest of the system is conserving that much money. What you're working with here would not fair well at all in something like CP77 or open world games. 10th gen Intel is good for gaming, but having only 4 cores is quite a crutch these days, and a 1650 is simply too slow to keep up with most modern games.

I'm not sure what the market is like in Australia, but the uplift from your configuration to this one would leave you hard pressed to find a game you can't run at 1440p high.

If your wanting to play Cyberpunk 2077 on an i3 then i recommend looking at a console,  the specs are too low and some old tech / interfaces that will slow it down. 

M.2 is so cheap now that you don't need to worry about a HDD.

AMD Ryzen would give you more performance for price.
