desktop pc recommendation (first build)

[col01by]

so iv never built a pc before and i dont really have a job or alot of money but i really need a pc upgrade 

i have kinda looked around but i have no clue what to do, i was kinda thinking xeon cause there cheap with high core count and a moderate clock speed but idk if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated

[LukeSavenije]

Higher clockspeed is still preffered in games, but some xeons can overclock great as they normally are high binned. What chips were you thinking of?

Buy a cheap win10 key from ebay or something. This pc is by no means powerful, but it has all the goodies a pc wants. If you want a better PC, I'd say raise your budget to 500-600 dollars.

That one has a little bit of a better CPU, still some wiggle room for a new GPU.
