Is this build good enough for Fornite, H1Z1, and (possibly) PubG? (decent settings)?

Hi all,
I have built this PC on part picker for a friend, however I'm questioning if it can do as the title of this post says... thanks, Ryan.

looks great, but PCpartPicker said incapabilities include: *Some AMD B350 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Raven Ridge CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions.*

2200g is Ryzen Refresh which has just been launched. The b450/x470 chipsets which are out of the box compatible are yet to be launched. The existing b350/x370 chipsets will work with a BIOS update. Your board should come with the BIOS updated or the vendor can do it for you if it is not updated before you purchase. You can talk to the seller to confirm. In the worst case scenario where you dont get the board updated, you can get the Ryzen Refresh boot kit from AMD, free of cost... https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/2Gen-Ryzen-AM4-System-Bootup.aspx
