Budget builds are honestly wonderful.
Especially the really low budget ones you find on YouTube. A few times I've wondered what I can get over in the States for $50.

To answer your question, not much. Unless you know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy and you can get some ridiculous below-manufacturing-cost pricing, there's no way $50 is getting you anywhere near a finished budget build. Quite sad, really

Budget builds are always fun to see come into fruition because it's far more exciting to see what one can squeeze out for a low budget rather than seeing the highest end shit achieving 169fps in [insert AAA game] instead of 166fps in that game compared to last year's hardware.

I have purchased a few i5 pre built systems (one third gen and two second gen) for $60-$65 with OS. 1TB HDD. 4-8GB RAM no video card.
I have purchased a GTX 950 for $55.
I have purchased a few GTX 760 for $60
all used of course
most of my budget builds are in the range of $150-250 when its all said and done.

I love pushing budget, low-end, or just generally old hardware to its limit. There's something almost...satisfying about watching hardware doing things it was never designed to do, rather than modern, high-end stuff just making short work of it.

I got a GTX 960 2gb off of letgo recently for $50 which is one heck of a steal if you ask me.

GTX 960 for 50 bucks? Holy crap I'm somewhat jealous...
I got my gtx 560 for 20 bucks off eBay used but now that my processor isn't going to bottleneck a 960 or below I'm really interested...
