Honestly I'd switch the CPU to an Athlon X4 and you can then get a 1050 Ti. Amazing gaming performance.

this is the cheapest you could go while still calling this a ''gaming PC'' IMHO...at this price range probably better to start the hunt for used parts...

My current system is on an ITX motherboard so, I currently have no option to upgrade my current computer but I can salvage the ram which is 8 gig's of ddr3 clocked at 1600 and an HDD with windows on it and a case fan I could reuse the case with some light modding so I basically need a CPU, GPU, PSU and a mobo for around 300 ish dollars.

that's NOT gonna happen at 300USD.

 

chances are that whatever you have now, it's gonna be beter than what you can buy for $300.

You might just squeeze a computer, but gotta look for used parts. I've seen i5-2500s go for $45 so something like this.
