Can My $480 USD Gaming PC Run Battlefield 5 at low settings?

[cdngamer123]

Hi guys, long time lurker first time poster here. I’ve never built a gaming pc before but my goal is to build a budget gaming pc that can play BF5 on the lowest settings (and other games like Black Ops 4 and PUBG on the lowest settings).

Can you please give your thoughts on my setup? I used PC Part Picker to make sure all the parts are compatible. Thanks.

Here is my build with links:

Games generally have three levels of recommendations with respect to hardware: minimum, recommended, and best.

Minimum is usually established under ideal circumstances.

Use recommended and best as the guidelines to follow.

Keep in mind that your system will only perform (i.e., play any given game) at the per the lowest/slowest component or setting.

Nope. That will be awful. Dual core is right out and you’d be lucky to average 30fps at 1080p/low if the beta is any indication.

You might want to look at the ryzen 5 2400g. https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/FGPKHx/amd-ryzen-5-2400g-36ghz-quad-core-processor-yd2400c5fbbox

It's a quad core and has integrated graphics that are on the lvl the 1030 is. If not you're probably looking at an i3 8100/ or 2200g with a 1030. Or if you had to, you could try a 2200g with the built in graphics. And if it's not enough add a card on later.
