How well might this build work for games such as Minecraft, CSGO, World of Tanks, World of Warships (just a few examples) at medium to low graphics? I'm really only looking to do casual gaming.

It'll work fairly well, but I would strongly recommend getting a Ryzen 2200G or 2400G based system instead.

Save yourself some cash and buy a win10 licence from ebay for like 3 bucks, otherwise I would go and look into the used gpu market for a better performing one. But that depends on what you want to play

Oh shoot, did not realize that was a section. Oops.

 

I'll look into the Ryzen. Thank you!

GT710 is trash, likely as slow as the integrated graphics.

 

Go for Ryzen 2200G, 2400G, or at least a GTX 1050 or RX 560.  2GB cards can be had for ~$125 if you dig around enough.

If you dig around enough, you should be able to find a GTX 970 for about that price...

Was referring to cards available as new instead of used.  Also, Ive not seen a GTX 970 under ~$200 in my area, different locations may have different pricing on Craigslist and the like.

I regularly see ~$125-150 970s on my Craigslist.

Yeah... $250 here.  E-Bay is cheaper for me.

Well fuck. Thought I was getting a good deal for one at $200. 

Yeah, my used listings are surprisingly good. And those prices were at more or less the height of the GPU shortage.
