I am currently building a computer for my cousin in Brazil. I need to know if these specs are good and would make a good gaming computer out of it. No monitor, keyboard and mouse needed. Are there any adjustments that I should make to make this build better or I should just go for it?

 

Sorry for my bad english... Not my native language

Instead of getting an i5-7400, get an i5 8400 (with a Z370 board) or a Ryzen 5 1600 (with a B350 board). They are better ;)

Yep min is 16 g for memory

8GB is still good for gaming. You'll only need 16GB if you plan to do a lot in the background while gaming.

How's Ryzen pricing? The 1400 or 1600 usually cost about the same as Kaby.

If you can, change the SSD to a better one and/or a higher capacity one. Shouldn't be that high if a priority.

Change the PSU to one that's not crap. The CX450/CX450M should cost less.

Yeah, I might recommend Ryzen 5 as opposed to the 7400, especially since you could overclock an R5 1600. However, I don't know what the prices in Brazil are, so it's possible the 7400 is a lot cheaper. If not, the Ryzen 5 1600 would be a great idea, with a comparable B350 board

The ryzen and 8400 are more expensive, and Im on a tight budget here, so ill just stay with the i5-7400. As for the ssd, he's just a 14 year old kid looking to play some games, so I'd rather keep this one. I will change the PSU though, thanks for the advice!
