Low budget gamng PC build

[M4t3X]

Hello everybody

 

I'm thinking of a new computer for games for quite some time now, but budget is always the problem here.

Recently I saw a video on youtube, that shows a nice server like build under 150$ and I thought of getting something like that myself.

Ready to spend 120-200€ and build it, the only problem now is finding good parts for the job. I'm looking for a build that can run newer games like "Batman: Akham Knight" on low settings smoothly.

So I'm open for suggestions, please get me spomething guys

 

Link to video I was watching: Under $150 Budget Gaming 8 Core CPU, Motherboard & 16GB RAM

Try and find a cheap dell optiplex which has a core 2 quad for like under 100 euro on ebay. Then just stick in a gtx 1050.

Thank you for moving @TheRandomness

 

@david cassar I believe a single Core 2 Quad CPU is not in option for games I'd like to play, I could just put one on my MB as well. But it was good you mentioned it as I found a good dual CPU Dell computer. I'm going to check it today

Well under 200 euro that is the best you could do You could also try and find i5 dell optiplexes which should be a bit more expensive.

Hmmm, Idno guys how does that soud to you?

 

Dell Precision 490

- CPU: 2x Dual Core, Intel Xeon 5050 processors (3Ghz, 4MB Cache, Hyper-threading)
- MB: (2 CPU sockets, 8 RAM slots, PCI-Express x16
- RAM: 12GB DDR2
- PSU  750W

 

I know this is a workstation, spent 2h on forums for it and I'm still not sure about it.. I saw the lowest RAM freq. can be 166Mhz.. What are the odds?

does it even have a x16 pcie express slot?

I found this in my area for a very low price as graphics card and HDD was removed, I believe it x16 there but I'm more concerned about actual hardware speeds, it's 6 years old system that was used for graphic editing. Also I looked up and first tie I see that there is 512Mb RAM limitation for graphics,,, I think this wont work for games anyway, I'll wait a bit and get an i5 unless there will be any good offer.
