This'll get the job done, sure, but is there a particular reason you'd pick a Core i5 10400 over a Ryzen 5 2600X or even a Ryzen 7 2700X for just a bit more (or even a Ryzen 5 3600X for just a bit more than that)? Not to suggest there's anything wrong with Intel, but performance wise you could get a lot more out of a Ryzen chipset (and appropriate components) than the Intel equivalent. Just curious as to what swung you towards Intel. It will definitely work for the games you outlined with the specs you have listed, though!
