I’m looking for a build around 200 to 280 bucks.

 

Games: casual light games. (SCP secret facility, terraria, subnautica)

 

Looks: I don’t need anything pretty, I just want something to get the job done.

 

Power supply: I don’t need semi or full modular just a trusted brand.

 

Storage: none I got a storage device already.

 

thanks for the help and support if you can’t help it’s fine I still thank you for reading this. If you need more info feel free to ask away.  Btw I’m in Canada in the Ontario region.

If you really can't wait try this APU system:

This can run terraria, not so sure about those other 2 games.

BUT!

if you can wait and save up, do so.

even a 300$ system can't run much

 

An APU is an Accelerated processor unit, it kinda combines CPU and GPU cores.

Basically, any computer can run Terraria.

Your budget is a bit too low to play these sorta of games. Unless you have preexisting components such as a PSU or case from a previous build, I'd save until your budget can support a $600 minimum.

Oh wait your in Canada too? Man that list is in USD pricing. Yeah I gotta be honest you can't buy something new with 280 CAD. Try Kijiji... get an old system around 150-180 $ and but a decent GPU like a 1050 or a 750 ti

Yeah, I already have a HP computer lying around as well as random parts. 512 mb is only half a Gig of ram correct?

Yes, 512mb of memory is half a GB, though I would have to assume it's DDR2, making it useless for newer chipsets.

 

Save your money until you can afford at least a $600 build. You will not get the performance you want out of anything in the $200-400 CAD price range. An FX-6300 is one of the worst performing budget CPUs you can get on the market, a modern-gen Pentium will outperform it in nearly every possible benchmark. The GT 1030 will not output stable framerates in SCP or Subnautica.
