So I got bored at home didn't really want to game because I had to be some where in a half hour, so... I started building my dream PC that I want, but then I got curious and decide to see what the cheapest build was on pcpartpicker.com. But I didn't really search very hard to get super cheap. All I did was sort each page to low to high and click the first thing in the list. If anyone buys this and builds it or has the parts and builds it, please tell me how sh*tty it is. (benchmarks)

You picked a board (probably because CPU restrictions) that costs almost as much as this entire machine. Plus iGPU!

Also, the motherboard box is the case. deal with it. Also, this PC and especially the PSU is not recommended. You should probably go for a Dell Optiplex + GPU at this price point

This will outperform the 250 build and have a decent upgrade path being on the am4 platform
