just go to bestbuy.com and buy a used computer as it will already have w10 on it, be certified reconditioned refurbished, and you will save yourself a lot of money! those are the best budget gaming pc's for the bang buck, then you can just buy yourself a good graphics card to install. you also get warranty on your computer and tech support.

How much are you willing to spend? 


Try this from PC part picker, this is their suggested "budget AMD gaming setup":

If you prefer Intel, here's what they suggest:

im looking for $300 to $600 also if possible trying to get pre built

If you look on Amazon, you can find some older refurbished mid tower size dell optiplex systems with an i7 or decent i5, witch are around $160-$250. Some may have a one year warranty and can be had for cheap. All you will have to do is install a GPU like a GTX 1650 ($150) for example and a few fans($20) and you have a cheap gaming PC.

 

Here is an example:

https://www.amazon.com/Dell-OptiPlex-7010-Minitower-Desktop/dp/B01K0GNUOG/ref=sr_1_17?crid=3T3Z2A88FQ1WR&keywords=dell+optiplex&qid=1572840056&sprefix=dell+opti%2Caps%2C140&sr=8-17

 

Also some local PC repair shops may have a pile of refurbished Optiplexes for resale and may sell you and install the other parts needed if you ask.

* The Sapphire 570 4GB Pulse. its basically a 1060 lower version. it can pull good gaming performance tho. Esport Titles maxed out  or lower the settings and get stable 144fps. and this is for 1080P resolution.

if you have more money then jump to 1660. i prefer non-TI for price.

 

this shit can even stream

 

*you can cut down the price by going down to 3200G or 2200G ( prefer 3rd gen for higher clock ). Change the ram from 16GB to 8GB

*I also pick cheapest Case.

  Spec: Macbook Air 2017

| RAM: 8GB LPDDR3 |
