Question Gaming PC recommendation for $400 budget ?

[Jourday]

Please,Is the following PC good to play LSPFR game:

Skytech Gaming Mini PC X1

AMD Ryzen 5 5600G 3.9 GHz
AMD Radeon Graphics
1TB NVME SSD
16GB DDR4 RAM 3200
11AC Wi-Fi
Windows 11 Home 64-bit
AC Adaptor

If you are talking about LSPDFR, I guess that is a GTA5 MOD which is pretty resource intensive. GTA5 recommends at least a GTX660 2gb card for seamless gameplay and a GT9800 as minimum. The iGPU of 5600g is somewhere in between those two cards. Remember that MODs are usually more resource intensive than the originals they are based upon. This will work technically but you might have to compromise a lot on settings for smooth gameplay. The 5600G is good enough CPU wise but you will enjoy more with a dedicated GPU of decent calibre along with it.

Edit: Put a little more money and build something like this...

I really appreciate your help and I’ll definitely be following your advice. I love LSPDFR from GTA game and would love to play it someday! I’ve already got GTA CD to download the platform with a Gaming PC but will need some help in the tutorials and steps for adding the necessary mods and softwares for a seamless game.If you know anything about it or to point me to the right direction, please let me know. Thank you so much.

If you are ok with used hardware you might look out on eBay. I’ve seen used 5600xt 6 gb cards on there in the 100 dollar range. Yes you take a little more risk but performance would be better.

For example

XFX RX 5600 XT THICC II PRO | eBay

Take your gaming experience to the next level with the XFX RX 5600 XT THICC II PRO graphics card. This powerful card boasts 6GB of GDDR6 memory and supports multiple monitors, G-SYNC/FreeSync compatibility, and virtual reality. With DisplayPort and HDMI connectors, this AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT...

The rest of the build above seems decent. An alternate might be the ryzen 5 3600, ryzen 5 5500, whichever you can get cheapest, and the cheapest am4 board you can get with a compatible bios. This would just apply if you found a significant savings going that route.

I have not played that MOD unfortunately so not sure, but you should get plenty of tutorials and guides online if you search for them, I am sure.
The above suggestion of used hardware is not bad but be very very sure of what you are getting. Test, retest, verify each and every part before you get them, unless you are getting some sort of unofficial warranty from seller. If you cannot test, then ask for test results.
