Soon I will be able to get all of the pieces for my first custom built entry level gaming pc.

I'm waiting for the Pentium G4560 cpu and Gigabyte B250 to arrive, and I'll soon have enough money to order the EVGA 500w, 8 GB Vengeance DDR4 2400, 1 TB Seagate and a half decent case.

My first question is, will I be able to use my computer without a dedicated GPU?
Also, until I save another $300 to buy an GTX 1060 6GB, will I be able to play basic, low graphic games like higher graphic .io games? And how about very old FPS game like counterstrike source?
And my last question, since I never built a PC from scratch before, would it be worth it to pay $75 to get it built? I'm afraid that I'll end up ruining something.

Thank you

Yes, it will work without a dedicated gpu, and the one integrated in that cpu is not very powerful but it will work just fine in some low to medium graphics. I think that building a computer nowadays is pretty simple, just see some videos on youtube, so I think you can do it without paying.

It depends on what your gpu is, however intel graphics are usually pretty good and the G4560 is 7th gen (i think) so it probably has some pretty good graphics. You might be able to play something like agar.io on retina but that depends on the graphics. You SHOULD be able to play counterstrike source on at least mid-settings, correct me if I' wrong. Last question: no, for your first time it's best for the experience. You should only have it pre-built when you actually have experience and are just too lazy to build one. On my first time building a PC (which was only like two months ago LOL), I almost bent my FX-4350, but luckily my dad was able to fix it. After building it, it was working fine for a couple hours, but unfortunately it broke somehow. To this day, I have been too lazy to fix it XD.

Well, I don't know the value of canadian currency, so i'm just going to pretend that it's USD. There are lots of cases under $50, but you have to look very carefully so you don't end up getting a crappy one. The case I bought for my build was the Apevia Trooper X junior. It's a pretty cheap case, only around $30. It's pretty decent for a cheap case, and it has LEDs had a door, which is only plastic, but that's okay for me. The fans kinda suck, but I can only get new ones.

There are quite a few cases to pick from really for about $50.
