And add a 8gb ram
Intel i5 650
1050ti
Psu 250 watts (planning to upgrade)
Will it be good fpr 60+fps at medium

What is your budget? "Good" is relative.

PSU is likely to be all too low.

What wattage do you plan to upgrade to?

Use some online calculators to establish the necessary PSU wattage and work from there.

 

[ujjwaluberoi]

Psu is 300 watts and budget is 300

 

[Ralston18]

Apologies: 300 noted - do you mean US dollars or some other currency?

I found several models of the Elite listed for around $150 USD.

You may be able to go upwards with respect to the hardware configuration and your budget.

However, I still believe that 300 watts is probably not enough. Use an online wattage calculator to add up the component wattages.

Actually you should try at least 3 such calculators to cross check the results.

Modern AAA games like ghost recon wildlands will really struggle with the i5-650 and the 1050ti, if you run old games like GS:GO that would work at 60+ fps no problem (see here for a vid of an i5-650 / 8gb / 750ti).

The entry-level cpu these days is the Ryzen 3 2200g (nearly double the performance).

As mentioned the 250w PSU is not going to be enough, PSU calc says 377w so a good 400W unit or better should be good. The SFF form factor are going to be an issue, my recommendation is get a tower at the very least, an i5-2400 refurb/off lease is pretty popular for a extreme-budget rigs these days.

I did see a good deal on a refurb tower for $300, which will save you the $100 microsoft fee over BYO

Vostro i3-8100, 8GB Ram, 1TB HDD, win10 refurb $300

...and you just need the gpu/psu:

So that saves you about $100 total with the budget pre-build and gpu/psu upgrades with the downside of case airflow and budget motherboard.

That was a lot of useful info but it is too over budget so what can i build for 400sgd$ if we dont use the i3 and gtx 1050ti and use some other cpu and gpu
My aim right now is just to build a solid pc for 400Sgd$ with 60fps at high settings is that possible for 400? Planning to play fortnite overwatch etc btw i dont

 

[doolittle]

There is a pretty good deal on this Dell OptiPlex 7010 Minitower / i5-3470 / 8GB / 1TB / DVD / Windows 10 $219, not a bad deal at all. With the gpu/psu combo that would be $415 ($450 w/ $35 in rebates) that is much closer to your budget.
