I’m putting together my initial personal computer build – it’s my first time selecting all the components myself, as I previously assembled one for a friend. Here are the specifications:

https://in.pcpartpicker.com/list/qyzwfH

Will this configuration be able to smoothly play most games at least 720p resolution and 30-40 frames per second?

I plan to run the following titles (at a minimum of 720p):

1) CS:GO
2) Grand Theft Auto V
3) Batman Arkham Knight

And others. My monitor is a 21-inch Sony LED television with a 60Hz refresh rate and a native resolution of 1080p (it has an HDMI connection, naturally). What would happen if I used a Ryzen 3 2200G processor without a discrete graphics card?

Thank you for your assistance.

Regarding the SDS20020024:

The graphics card is insufficient. However, consider utilizing a Ryzen 3 2200G APU with integrated Radeon Vega 8 – it appears benchmarks for the GT 1030 and Radeon Vega 8 are comparable. Test it out; if performance isn’t satisfactory, invest in a superior graphics card. Simultaneously, ensure you have an adequate power supply unit (PSU); a minimal 350-watt model will restrict future enhancements. It's generally more cost-effective to initially allocate a slightly higher budget than to incur significantly greater expenses for replacements down the line.

The 1030 card lacks sufficient power.

The 1030 card is underpowered.
However, if I were to utilize a Ryzen 3 2200G APU with integrated Radeon Vega 8, it’s interesting. My research indicated that the performance metrics of the GT 1030 and Radeon Vega 8 are remarkably similar.

Regarding issue #1030, the graphics card appears underpowered. However, considering a Ryzen 3 2200G APU with integrated Radeon Vega 8, I’ve researched and found that its performance closely mirrors that of the GT 1030. Test it out and observe its functionality. If you experience unsatisfactory results, invest in a superior graphics card. Simultaneously, acquire a more robust power supply; a minimal 350-watt unit will restrict future upgrades. It’s typically wiser to allocate an additional 20% upfront than to incur a 100% increase later for replacement. Often, attempting to save money with inadequate components ultimately leads to higher expenses over time.
