Will this build work?

I’ll be using a Mid size tower instead and I already have a EVGA 500W PSU I’m going to use instead of the ones in the build.

That page is all kinds of messed up. First it says G4400. Then it lists a G4560 with a B350 motherboard. That won't work.

You'll want a G4560 or G4600 (whichever is the better price) and a B250 motherboard. Other than that, sure go for it.

Be careful which of those motherboards you choose. The MSI B350 listed near the graphic at the top is an AMD motherboard. The Gigabyte B250 listed below is an Intel motherboard.

Just because of an error like that, I wouldn't trust ANYTHING that website says.

Please look at this build! (I already have the case/PSU) (Which Gtx 1050 is best/cheapest? The Zotac one is out of stock)

Edit: Maybe this graphics card? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7VHVd6

If you had to buy right now I'd go with the Gigabyte Windforce OC from Newegg for $165. But if you could wait 1-2 weeks you might find a GTX 1050 Ti for the same price.

Gamehaven pulls some dump prices and poor info it doesn't include a copy of Windows. GTA:V will not run 60+ FPS on High or Ultra on a G4560 and a 1050 GT.

Not happening as long as Cryptocurrency is going up GPU prices are not going down, they have actually increase on 1050's, RX 460's, RX 560's and 1050 TI's in the last 2 weeks.
