Cheap PC

[poortechgeek]

I am wanting to build a gaming PC but as a poor 14-year-old, I can't really afford a high-end pc as something I would want. I am looking at a budget of about $571. What would be the best parts for my gaming PC and in my budget?

Go used. Ideally, you would find an X58 setup and get a new GPU (or a used one if you can find one), but unless you can find a decent X58 motherboard and at least an i7 (a Xeon would be ideal) for under $150, that's not really gonna happen.

How's this for you? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PHHM7W

Asus RX 570s frequently go on sale for $130, so keep your eyes peeled.

This would be where I would start. I listed a 320m motherboard which will be fine with that cpu if it has a newer bios, but if you want to make sure there aren't any issues with bios you could pick up a 450 board for about 15-20 bucks more... which does go a little over your budget by about 10 bucks.

 

Either way this would give you a solid build that can game just fine.

I got a build that’s a little more on the cheaper yet budget build side that you may use as a template. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/V4VV9J
