Is this budget PC good enough to run my favorite games

[Rollin2324]

Is this PC powerful enough to run garrys mod, rust, spin tires, arma 2, arma 3, and war thunder. I'm on a strict budget and I'm new to PC gaming so this will help me a lot.

It might not be the best idea to build a PC now since AMD is gonna release Zen this summer.

From knowing AMD, the CPU will probably be relatively cheap which means it will be a great CPU option.

I see you play a lot of CPU-oriented games which means Intel is the way to go. This is a build I put together for you for your needs:

Would that be able to run those games at medium/high resolution?

At 1080p, my build will be able to run ANY game you throw at it on AT LEAST medium settings. Older games will run at ultra.
