Depends on how much the above system will cost you. In general, the old AMD A-series CPUs aren't great.

What country are you shopping in and what's your budget.

IMO, an A10-7800 is a wasted purchase these days. That being said, you've got a pretty low budget. One that certainly encourages buying at least some used stuff.

If it were me:

And grab a used GPU from Kijiji or something. Like an RX470 or RX570 for $80 would outperform the GTX1050 by 60% or more.

That's just me letting PCPP choose the "best" pricing for me. Usually you can do better than that when you visit each site and/or use coupon codes where available.

To me, that's an extra $70 WELL SPENT. I mean, heck, you're paying 15% more for 60% more GPU performance, let alone the extra speed of the i3-9100F compared to the A10-7800.

AMD's non-Ryzen CPUs are quite a bit weaker than other CPUs typically chosen for gaming, and, depending on the game, might not consistently be able to provide minimum 60 fps, as they are often slower than 4 year old i3 CPUs...

(I'd look for a design having an R5-2600 or 1600AF...)
