Hello everyone! I need some expert opinion about a pc config, I am building a used but in warranty Intel i5 4440+Gigabyte H81 mobo+2*4gb ddr3 ram+GT 1030 gddr5 2gb+500gb 7.2k rpm SATA hdd, will these components work good together, building this pc to play games like CSGO, Fortnite, Overwatch, Pubg etc. I am worried about serious bottleneck or other issues. Plz help!

If budget is very tight and you don't already have the parts you mentioned, consider looking at the Ryzen 2400G. It's good enough for most the games you mentioned and you can save up for a GPU later if you need. The CPU is easily capable of allowing up to a GTX 1060 / RX 580 or thereabouts later down the track.

The system should run fine in most the games you mentioned, but PUBG might be a bit of a struggle unless sticking to pretty low settings. Other than that it's a decent build, the i5 4400 should go alright in a majority of modern titles and i'd say run well with at least up to a GTX 1050 Ti GPU before any significant bottlenecking can occur, but that still depends on the games you play. Hope this helps! :)
 
Hey,

the GT 1030 isnt a very powerfull card and mainly used for HTPC.
With the GT 1030 you can run games like CS:GO and LOL and probably overwatch since they are e-Sport title that can run on every potato machine.
Fortnite however and especially PUBG are way more demanding games and i dont think that you can run these games even in 1080p lowest possible settings (atleast with stable 30-60 fps). I would recommend atleast a 1050ti or something like that.

On Youtube are a lot of Videos about GPU Benchmarks. Check out "Hardware Unboxed", he tested 44 GPU with Fortnite, PubG and a few other games with different settings.
 


Didnt he said he does ahve 2x4GB so a total of 8GB?
Should be enought for the games he mentioned and he can upgrade later.

You might want to re-read the OP. It's 2*4GB, so 8GB RAM not just 4GB RAM. As for the system itself, outside of PUBG, it will be fine for his listed games (Fornite, Overwatch, CSGO). The choice of hardware is far from fantastic, but judging from OP it's a very budget build.

EDIT: Cookiemania beat me to it by 5 seconds lol...
 


Yup. Now I see that, I guess the cryptic writing thru me off. But still that PC can not play modern games even at Low settings.

Thank you for your reply, but according to http://thebottlenecker.com/#calculator this cofig will bottleneck hugely, I am very confused, I have little knowledge about this thing and tomshardware is my only hope.

I wouldn't take that site's information as factual at all. It's well know to be horribly inaccurate.
 


That is a good Idea!
With decent memory this puppy is pretty good :D

And im sure that it will performe better then a 1030

Oh I see, thanks for the information, I was worried. I am getting this new used config in exchange of my current config+70$(cpu+mobo+ram)
