Prebuilt system or make it.

I have a budget of under £400 and I would like to have a good pc that can run games on medium to high settings at 30+ FPS. I have seen computers on eBay for £350 with an i5-2400 and GTX 1050 TI but someone pointed out to me that the i5-2400 would be a bottle neck. It could be AMD or Intel I don’t really mind just want it to meet my requirements. I wanna play open world games such as gta v , survival games such as Fortnite and also FPS games .

Many thanks

Don't buy that XFX XT PSU, its an ancient Seasonic design made very cheaply by Hydance, and its junk.

Does this £400 need to include the OS license?
