What is your budget and currency? (Pound sign does not work normally, use GBP abbreviation)
Do you need a monitor?
Do you need a keyboard?
Do you need a mouse?
Do you need an operating system?
What will you use the PC for?

My budget is around 400 euros for the entire build but i already have the hardware mentioned above. I dont need a monitor, keyboard or a mouse and will need an OS

What RAM do you have? DDR3, DDR4 etc We will need the specifics otherwise it may be incompatible with other parts.

Any Specific Games?
Some games are really demanding at the moment and the parts you have are sort of average.

Itll be better than xbox without a doubt, I think you should be good with those games as they have been really well made.
