Hi! So my girlfriend is in need of a new computer, Shes been using a laptop and its starting to honestly fall apart, She wants to get a new laptop for under or near 400$ But it told her if she wanted to double that she could play all the newer games. Shes not sure about it. She does like to play games like dying light and some other older/newer games. So i put together this list.

Now i'm just wondering is a i3 8100 paired with a rx 560 okay? And is there any other changes you people recommend? (HEADS UP The ram is gonna be a 2x4 2666 ddr4 but pc part picker doesnt have that one)

The RX 560 4GB is okay if you don't care about image quality or high frame rates.

I'd probably swap it around so I could afford a better GPU.
