It looks like the equivalent of my old i7 laptop (not the latest gen i7). It should be ok for “basic” games and web browsing. Of course, you should be going nowhere near the Triple A games. But if that’s how you managed to get all of the parts for, go for it. I’m surprised how you managed to get an i5 for 40 pounds.

Sorry but £200 is not enough for a gaming system. An entry level gaming gpu(gtx 1050, RX460/560) is going to cost atleast £90. Ram is currently fairly expansive due to shortage so 8Gb cost £60. A Cpu capable of running current games at a playable fps and motherboard is going to cost well over £100(likely closer to 150). Still need a hdd, and PSU(don't want to skimp here or you could end up with no computer again).

Here's a £200 build but it's not gamer. It would ok for browsing the web and doing basic office work.
