Would this build work for running Rocket League?

[cgouldstone45]

I am building a PC for my mate who wants to run Rocket League and maybe some other basic games and just wanted to check I'm barking up the right tree spec wise.
I'm thinking of using:

Gigabyte B360M D2V
Intel i3 8100
4GB DDR4
GTX 550 Ti

My concern is the CPU. Any help appreciated

Thanks in advance

do you own any parts already?
if not, budget and country?
ram too small
gpu on the weak side.
However, it will run rocket league well, as it is not demanding games. CPU is way more powerful than GPU in your case.

No I'm buying 'new' (the GPU is used as he's on a budget). Would 4GB be totally insufficient? Could stretch to 8GB but would obviously be double the price! What GPU would you suggest - Ideally the cheaper the better (Sub £50 used?). Glad to hear about the CPU!

UK it is. What is your total budget on the build?

Thanks for this but I'm still unclear as to why this (especially the CPU and mobo combo) is better that the system I originally suggested as on passmark the CPU has a higher score and is cheaper than the Ryzen 3?

Sorry to be a pain 🙁

can you list the cost of each for your build? Can not do in 300 pounds.

GPU link isn't working. Maybe coz it's from ebay?

 

[vapour]

where is psu? 120 gb storage?
I would say it is not due to better, but limited by the budget
You were saying gpu is 50?
If you really like your way, just need 8 gb ram and you are fine.
How is I3's 113 < 89?
Good luck.

 

[cgouldstone45]

I already have a psu so that's sorted.Gonna order 2x4gb RAM. By the price difference I meant the overall cost of the system. Think I'll go ahead but thanks for your help.
