So i wanted to build this PC for my little brother and i was wonderin' will this pc run games like minecraft 720p low - medium settings or cs go on low settings 720p? Im on a very tight budget which cant exceed 230 euros (252 dollars that is).
Heres the pic :

That APU is quite good to play games at 720p.
You don't need a graphics card, integrated ones are plenty enough for your requirements.
Your build looks good, and I can't find anything better for the price.
I strongly recommend you get 8gb of ram (2x4gb) in dual channel mode, this will help A LOT with the graphics performance.

But you're lacking a PSU.

I have experience with this, I built a similar PC about 2 years ago. It has an A10-6800k, which is a bit stronger than your APU but not so much. I also have only 1 stick of ram, and really regret it.
But I can still play Minecraft on 1080p high settings. I can even play Skyrim, 1080p, medium-high. With dual channel ram, I would probably be able to play on high even. And lots of...

This comes down to a matter of more for your money. For a decent pc you're going to want something around 500, at the lowest. I am sure your brother isn't going to stick to minecraft for the rest of his life, so in-case a new game comes out and he wants to play it, I'd reccomend drop 100 dollars more and get them a pc that'll not go outdated for a while. As said above, you need a graphics card if you don't have integrated ones
