being a pc builder myself I think this would be a perfect build for your brother. May i ask how old is your brother or what kind of games he'll be running because you can only do so much with a 400$-450$ budget so explain what games he will be playing and i can help more from their.

they can be good but they aren't yet at the stage that you can play games on them very well. if he had 100$ more he would be in much better shape and futureproof.

To be honest, $400-450 is a very low budget for a "gaming pc". You should really add another $200 to it for a significant performance boost, else it's kind of a waste.

450$ is pretty fine in my opinion, especially in christmas/new year time

if you want to buy go right now you might snatch some parts really cheaper than they are

all depends on which games you are going to play. 400-450 would be fine for many games but if you want to play games with big and high quality games etc i would suggest you add 200 like dave said.
