AMD

He wants to keep the same quality not downgrade and he has no GPU so he needs IGPU

Are you planning to add Video Card in the future? @Chugle

 

What are going to use with this build?

 

Can save easily on the case and psu. 4GB ram is sometimes enough for gaming.

That PSU is really cheap and good for the price.

Intel Core i3 2100 @ 3.10GHz - Intel Stock Cooler - Zotac Geforce GT 610 2GB Synergy Edition

Intel DH61WW - Corsair® Value Select 4GBx1 DDR3 1600 MHz - Antec BP-300P PSU

WD Green 1TB - Seagate 2.5" HDD 1TB - Seagate Barracuda 500GB - Antec X1 E.

Nope to the RAM, id say minimum of 8GBs for gaming these days considering newer titles like GTA 5 eat up (require) 6GBs of RAM during gameplay.

System Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X

GPU: Radeon RX 7900 XT 

RAM: 32GB 3600MHz

HDD: 1TB Sabrent NVMe -  WD 1TB Black - WD 2TB Green -  WD 4TB Blue

MB: Gigabyte  B550 Gaming X- RGB Disabled

PSU: Corsair RM850x 80 Plus Gold

Case: BeQuiet! Silent Base 801 Black

Cooler: Noctua NH-DH15

Why arent you getting a dedicated GPU? It's an ok build, to be honest ive never heard of that brand SSD. At such a low budget you really shouldnt be thinking of an SSD and spend more money on important parts, an SSD is something you can add later.

nice font m8 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
