That PC is overkill for PUBG, you're fine with what you have going on.

What cooler are you going to use? I noticed you don't have one selected.

The i5-8400 was good when it cost $179-189. Now, at $220 I can't say it's a good choice. The i5-8600K is only $20 more. And the Ryzen 5 2600 is considerably less. The 2600X is also an option. I would change to one of those CPUs and get faster RAM, 3000 or 3200.

I am not thinking to overclock cpu and GPU. Is it better to buy 8600K though I am not going to overclock it?

If you buy an intel processor you need a cooler.

If you buy the 8600K you can expect a 10%-20% increase in performance, so I second that addition. As far as cooling is concerned since you are specifically looking to avoid doing overclocking you can get a very affordable air cooler.

The CM 212 is a perfectly capable air cooler.

I have not watched the video in a bit and I'm at work so I don't have time to scrub through the entire video but I believe that the TL;DW is 3200MHz is the ideal set.

NOT! I have a standard Intel Troller on the I5 8400 in pairs with the 1060 MSI6gb never exceeds 62 degrees under the maximum load, of course it is important how and how you will be the bulky housing!
