Im building a gaming pc and the specs are:
CPU:i-5 6500/tray
MotherBoard:gigabyte Ga-h110m-s2
Hard Drive:hitachi 1TB 32M SATA
SSD:SanDisk 128 GB
RAM:8G/2133 Hynix DDR4
GPU:Gigabyte GTX 1069 Mini ITX
CASE:IPPON Case Bullet 450W PFC
1.Im wondering if the cpu can handle heavy games on high graphics.
2.also Im worried about the tiny GPU...is it better to change it?..it's almost the same price as the GTX 1060 WINDFORCE.
3.Is a 450 W power supply enough for those specs?
Thanks.

The i5 skylake is more than enough and the video card is also good. The power supply tho isn't. I suggest a quality Antec or Seasonic 500W.

This could handle 2x 1060's.

1. 3.5ghz quad core is enough for gaming.
2. Why get a micro GPU with a full ATX case? (Plus isnt that a micro board too?) The more fans/power connectors, the more potential a GPU has to overclock. If you plan on leaving it at stock it wont matter as much.
3. Yes, 450w is probably enough especially with a board that doesnt support SLI/NVME etc, but best not to use a PSU that comes with the case.
