Hi guys i have some parts and i use them to build some mediocre PC. I wanna know what i can play on this PC (At 1680x1050)

CPU: Intel Pentium G4560
MOBO: Asrock H110M-DGS R3.0
RAM: Kingston 2400MHz 16GB (2x8GB)
PSU: Corsair CX550 550W
GPU: MSI RADEON R9 280X GAMING 3G TWIN FROZR
HDD: 2x500GB WD Blue 7.200RPM
 
Solution
G4560+280X is not that bad especially for 1680x1050 60hz.

I had Q6600 @3GHz + HD6850 until Q4 2015, I could even run Shadow of Mordor and Bioshock Infinite at that resolution with very playable fps. Your PC G4560 +280X should be more powerful than this.
You just have to fiddle the in-game settings a bit to have playable fps.

I have a similar setup (G4560 and gtx 1050) and I play rocket league at an uncapped 130 FPS (but my monitor only hits 60). It does shooter games pretty well too. But any graphically intense games may be just a bit harsh. You can always try returning games from steam if it doesn’t run well

I think most recent games should work reasonably well, perhaps at reduced settings in more demanding titles. An R9 280X should be relatively capable at 1680x1050. The processor might limit performance somewhat in some of the more heavily multithreaded games, but if you're okay with dips down around 30fps, almost all games should manage playable performance.
