Hey i live in Morocco so Gaming PC are extremely [expensive?] to build or to buy pre-built but i found a good one for 566 Dollar or 5500 DH but with 92 Dollar which make it 474 Dollar or 4600 DH discount here are the specs.

Intel Core i5-2400 Processor 6M Cache, up to 3.40 GHz.
Zotac geforce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB.
500GB.
8GB Ram.

My only worry is that it comes with 300W PSU 80+ Gold And i don't have the ability to upgrade it but do you think it will be a good gaming computer to run gta V and modded minecraft despite the cpu being i5 2nd generation.

[strike]If the motherboard has a Z68 chipset, I'd look for an i5-2500k, i7-2600k or i7-2700k.
If it has a Z77 chipset, I'd look for an i5-3570k or i7-3770k.[/strike]
Edit: Completely forgot about the 300W PSU. Don't do this. The below paragraph's still valid tho.

If your motherboard has another 60-series motherboard, an i5-2500, and on a 70-series motherboard, an i5-3470/-3450 would be a sensible choice, as they will last a little bit longer. (All of these compared tothe i5-2400)

If all of the above exceed your budget, then there's nothing that can be done, and you'll just have to use that 2400 as long as possible, it's not like it's super bad or anything.

This should be enough to run GTA V as your specifications sit somewhere in-between the minimum and recommended I personally don't know much about modded mincraft but I think it should be perfectly fine to run that.
And you shouldn't worry about the PSU as that should be enough for this system.

As already said, the PSU should be enough for this exact configuration, but you shouldn't expect to be able to fit in more power-hungry components without switching it out.

Also, you should note that the CPU is a pretty old platform (I suspect that it's where the discount comes from). This isn't bad in itself, as the CPU's still strong enough, but again, a noteworthy upgrade will require you to buy CPU, motherboard and RAM anew.

As long as you're aware of that, go ahead and get it ;)

There are no 3Gb or 6GB DDR3 RAM sticks, so it's most likely a 2GB + 4GB combination, which is less than optimal, as this will prevent the RAM from running in dual channel while still taking up 2 RAM slots. If you add an 8GB stick to that, you'll have successfully created the most exotic (to not use the word horrible) combinations I've ever seen.

If you buy this, put in the 8GB stick and sell the other two, then buy another 8GB stick if you need more RAM (make sure to buy the same model as the existing 8GB stick).

And all this for more cash, while the rest remains identical: Not-so-good, but since the other one's sold out/not available anymore...

Apart from that, everything stays as-is.
