Is This PC Build Good Enough for Overwatch, Valorant, Modded Minecraft, and Cyberpunk 2077?
Asked by

I'm planning to buy the parts and build my own gaming PC. I want to play Overwatch, Valorant, heavily modded Minecraft, and Cyberpunk 2077. Would this parts list handle those games at low or medium settings? My total budget is around $1,200, including roughly $300 for peripherals.

I’d also avoid limiting the build to a 500W power supply unless the parts specifically support it. A reliable, higher-wattage unit gives you more headroom and makes future upgrades easier. If the motherboard is a small form-factor model, check its expansion and upgrade options before buying, since compact boards can make later changes more restrictive.

The graphics card in this list appears too outdated for a good Cyberpunk 2077 experience, and it may struggle even in less demanding games depending on the resolution and settings. I’d prioritize a significantly stronger GPU. The processor may be acceptable, but pairing it with a much better graphics card could create a performance imbalance, so it’s worth choosing the CPU and GPU together.

What’s your target budget for the computer itself, separate from the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and other peripherals? That will determine whether the graphics card can be upgraded.
