Is this build enough to play latest games on med/high settings?

For the PC case ive picked Corsair CC-9011108-WW

what do you think? I dont have the highest budget, but im buying the parts used, so i could tweak the build if i find some parts aren't much more expensive if it means increasing the performance

Good build, but:

1) Drop the CPU cooler and use the money for a better processor or a bigger SSD. Use the stock cooler.

2) Do you need a DVD Drive? If not, use the money along with the money from the CPU Cooler for a better CPU or more RAM.

£30 more but is huge improvement over yours list because it comes with i5-8400 instead of old gen i5-7400. I included 16GB DDR4 RAM instead of 8GB kit. I also included 240GB SSD instead of 128GB SSD. All are good and high quality components enough to support your needs.

Are you buying everything used?or just te graphics card.

I5 7xxx series are not recommended anymore as new coffeelake 8100 is essentially the same with support on the most recent platform for upgrade easier upgrade path.

8100 sits between 7400-7500 interns of performance, and it’s a lot cheaper than the i5 7xxx.

If you don’t overclock and just want a decent system to run for the next few years, 8400 with H310 board offers the best performance to value, it’s the replacement of 7400 but with two extra cores.
