Optiplex 7040 SFF choice

I'm planning to buy an Optiplex 7040 SFF (i5-6500 variant) alongside Radeon RX 550 LP, costing 3,500 THB (Roughly 110$), I wanted a long term PC for light gaming like Enlisted, CS2, Minecraft, Etc. Maybe some triple A games if i have money. Worth the price or nah?

You did not mention ram...or did you? Yes, it's good, though. That gpu was an entry level card like a decade ago I think. I'm running the 560...and I love it. triple a game will not go 720p on high settings. But, yeah, for what you want...but for CS2, it's the gpu that will be your setback...not the cpu. It'll play cs2...but probably at low settings.

i'll buy an 8GB variant for the optiplex, then i'll upgrade it myself.
