Buying a new pc, are these components decent?

[titiliki1]

Hey guys, I'm about to buy a new gaming PC from a smaller company that has dropped a lot of their prices. Obviously, I know the quality might not be the best ever since they have to fight against the big companies their prices, but I have a feeling a few of these components might create a bottleneck of some sort:

- Intel core i5-7400 4 core 3ghz
- 1TB SATA600 7200rpm 32mb HDD (they also claim this to be "quick", while I don't really see what would be quick about a HDD)
- Gigabyte H110M-S2H 1151 mATX motherboard (!)
- 1050 TI Nvidia geforce
- Xilence Performance C 12cm fan ATX 2.31 power supply 82+ efficiency
- 8GB PC4-17600 2133Mhz DDR4 RAM
- Pre installed W10

All for about 800 dollars (650 euros) which is VERY cheap in my region, as far as I know.

Should I be scared somethings bottlenecks? Should I be scared of their assemblage?

It all depends on what the PC will be used for, e.g. General (browsing the web, work like word processing, etc), Gaming, the list goes on. But one thing I'd highly recommend is using an SSD for Windows it's a brilliant investment for those fast loading times.

Well, there aren't any glaring problems with the build. It is a solid build but that 1050Ti seems a little underpowered for the build. Either way it will play games well at 1080p.

As for the HDD being "fast" it will be faster than a 5400 RPM laptop hard drive. The 7200 RPM drives aren't bad... but they are still quite slow compared to an SSD.

I don't think you'd be unhappy with it, but try to upgrade to an SSD as soon as practical.

A 500gb SSD is like 200 euro's extra, I'm trying to stay on budget sadly.

You can always go for a smaller SSD something like 120 or 250GB have it as just the Windows drive, then use the HDD for storing your software, games etc.

Then I'd say that GPU should be fine with that on the optimal settings for those games.

@bennyy279 okay ty I'm probably going for everything I mentioned plus a 240gb SSD, then use it as the windows drive and just files that have to open quickly. Use the HDD for other things. Thanks!
