Steam Like Machine? (Mini ITX Build)

[Source_ID]

Hey guys, wanted to ask if this build was good enough to be superior to the ps3/xbox 360. He wants to play games like TF2, Gang Beats, L4D2, Binding of Issac, Battlefront 2, Day Of Defeat, GMOD, and Quake live. I was wondering tho, can this play games like Gta v, and fallout 4 at Low to mid settings at 30+ fps at 1080p or 900P, what about 2 player Rocket League at 1080p mid to high settings over 30 fps? Also, since were on a budget under 500, is it good? or do i have more options, im looking for quality and cost. We want it to fit onto of the desk that comes with a bunk bed he has, Probably not more than 10 feet long in distance. We have a monitor, we just need a keyboard and 2 game pads, so we can play Gang Beats and Rocket Launcher together from time to time, i also have a friend that will pitch in windows 10 for 20 bucks Thanks In advanced!

You can't run GTA V on a dual core, you'll need a quad core

Humm, depends on your budget really :I

 

Also the AMD athlon x4 860K will do a good job at it - Didnt remember this one when i mentioned the i3s. Its cheap and very cost effective.

Thanks...

Lol sorry, but seriously stay away from CX psu's.

 

But seriously, I urge you to save a little more and get this. It will be worlds better, trust me.

That PSU is overkill though, . I mean, its absolutely great, but he is on a tight budget.

Cool I guess, but I feel like getting this to 600 is kinda defeating the purpose of it being mini itx imo, feels like I'll end up getting a full on PC, oh well thanks
