Im planning to build a PC for my little brother. I am only buying 2nd hand parts. What I saw that can fit my budget was this:

 

Processor: intel core i5 2400

GPU: GTX 950

RAM: Kingston 8Gb DDR3

MOBO: Dell M1H61R MB 

PSU: 500 watt Thermaltake 

HDD: 500 GB seagate

 

is this build good enough to run CSGO, PUBG and Dota 2?

 

if you guys can tell me a better build within a 400$ budget it would be helpful thanks

I should note that its worth it to look for used 970's , as they can typically be had for a very low price.

AMD Ryzen R7 1700 (3.8ghz) w/ NH-D14, EVGA RTX 2080 XC (stock), 4*4GB DDR4 3000MT/s RAM, Gigabyte AB350-Gaming-3 MB, CX750M PSU, 1.5TB SDD + 7TB HDD, Phanteks enthoo pro case

Yes, CSGO- Max settings, 1080p, 120 fps.

But CSGO and Dota 2 are easy to run but PUBG is a lot harder.

Maybe PUBG- Med settings, 1080, 60fps.

If at first you don't succeed...

Call it version 1.0
