Possible. Especially with the 2400G and the drop in GPU prices.

Thanks for the recommendation, asking for my nephew as he just finished psle and wants to get his own gaming computer.

If get from local, the price difference will be huge?

Avaerage price increase by 20-50 per part. Anyway, will you be troubleshooting for your nephew? If no, maybe consider off-the-shelves brands or bontique options like dreamcore/Aftershock for the troubleshooting support
