Hi everyone,

I'm looking to build my first gaming pc. I'm mainly looking to play games like GTA V, BF1, CSGO and maybe some more singleplayers like the witcher 3 and dishonored.

My budget is quite small, i haven't saved it up yet but im looking to spend around $450/$500.

I was looking to get these parts: http://
However, I don't know if this setup will be able to run the games I wan't to play on high settings with a minimum of 80 FPS.
So my question is:
If this current list is not able to reach those standards and i swap out the GTX 1050 Ti 4GB SC for a GTX 1060 3GB (http://) would the Intel Pentium g4560 be a bottleneck especially for a game like GTA V?.
And if it is a bottleneck what other CPU should I choose? Or would it not even be worth upgrading the GPU and CPU since the parts list would probably change from $426.11 to around $620. $400 i think is really doable but $620 would take a long time saving up for and i don't even know if i want to spend that much money.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

PS:
The reason there's no SSD/HDD in the list is because i have a 256GB samsung SSD i'll be using (4 months old)

I would suggest the Ryzen 1200. It overclocks to equal the i5-7400~i5-7500. Faster RAM is better for CSGO as it loves RAM. If you want the 1060 its a fine upgrade.
