I wouldn't try it. You have no GPU.

It's basically a web browsing machine.

Better don't buy anything before doing some research.

CORRECTION: The price listed for the SSD in the on screen break down is incorrect. We got the SSD for $49.99 and price matched the PSU at $49.99 bringing the total to $612.

Here is the little process you could do.

Look up price performance of CPU then GPU. A example site is this: https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/

You can click the tabs for important parts and organize by different metrics. Note: Value does not equal performance.

I would advise sorting by highest value then listing whats in your price range in a text file. Then look up gameplay/benchamarks on youtube with those specific parts in a game you currently play or want to play. This will tell you if you want to save money, buy immediately or not buy at all.

Its very important you know exactly what you are getting. It can also help to avoid buying parts right before a new big release of said type of part (since if its competitive the older parts will drop in price.)

Also you can more or less get away with a $50 PSU(power supply) or motherboard but i wouldnt advise it. (Especially power supply because if it malfunctions it could fry other components). Honestly it depends heavily on your country and price of all components. If you cpu and gpu add up to only like 100 us dollar its dumb to get a $100 power supply.

This all really depends on your budget and what your willing to do or not do.

It's not dumb to get a $100 PSU. If you buy a cheap one and it fails, not only can it take down your whole PC, it can start a fire. That being said if your CPU and GPU only costs $100, you won't need a lot of watts to power it, and PSU's in that range should be less than $100.

I guess but i am speaking in terms of highly rated psu. I consider products less than 4.5/5 unbuyable unless reviews are low count and dumb complaints.

For PSU's it's best to look at this tier list:
