I need help building a 300$ PC requarirements:,

*16-32g ram

*2-3t space

*core i7-i9

*case with room for upgrade 

*10-12 core

*R7 GPU or higher

*650-900w power supply

*windows 10 pro 

*fast clock speed

*can see insides of case 

*working not damaged 

*

THIS is not going to happen. 

• First off there are no consumer grade 10-12 core i7 or i9 chips. There are 6 core / 12 thread or 8 core / 16 thread units, but they are between $325-550 as a CPU alone.
  • There are 12+ core Xeon units, but they are not ideal for gaming. They are more for heavy workload processing. And again very expensive.
  • There are consumer AMD chips that have 12 cores, but they are $500+ as well.
• 16-32GB RAM is what you would want for a workload processing PC. 16GB is more than enough for gaming, though at a low budget, 8GB is more realistic.
• 650W PSU is already more power than you would need for a single GPU system. I wouldn't go any higher, since it's just a waste.
• R7 GPU is solid for 720/900p as I suggested for your $120 build. You might look in this price range for a use RX 570. It's a solid step up.
• As far as working / not damaged, we can show you examples, but can't guarantee anything that we suggest (new or used) will work when it arrives.
  • You can communicate with the seller beforehand and confirm that it is. If you buy through a website, they often include protective measures in case it isn't working on arrival. 
• Windows 10 Pro can be bought on ebay for $5.

You need to do the research yourself here. But I can point out AGAIN that at $300, you will be better off buying used gear from local cash sales or via ebay.

 

I hate to suggest it, but frankly from the budget, the clear lack of desire to research real PC parts, and the strange unrealistic desires... You might just be better off buying like a PS4 or XBox One and enjoying it.

 

Here is a post I found within a minute of searching on FB Marketplace:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1218892631639073/

• AMD FX is not an i7, but it will play games for you at your budget
• GTX 960 is newer and more powerful than the R7 lineup. Solid enough.
• 16GB RAM for you
• SSD and 1TB HDD

You could try communicating and negotiating price with this guy:

• Unspecified i5 CPU
• RX 480
• 20GB of RAM (dumb.)
• Similar SSD/HDD setup

tbh I wish people pushed me into building a PC earlier. it's an excellent skill to foster early on for technical literacy and it's really easy to develop in a basic way. I would have loved to at least avoided the trap of gaming on an old imac.

 

 I don't think OP would struggle to piece together an APU build.

I'm planning to do a PC build with my 8 year old daughter soon. It's gonna be a fun project!

First: forget about the specs of this list.

Second: You can start of just fine with a 4 core CPU

Third: Most of the PC's you showed us are garbo or are not worth what they are.

 

My advice is:

• Find some computer repair shops near your area, ask them if they have any used PCs in stock and if they can install a Graphics card.

 

The specs you should look in your price range for are:

• Core i7 2nd-4th Generation or better, or a decent higher end 3rd-4 gen i5 or better.
• 500Gb-1tb of storage, an SSD may be a luxury and you may have to settle for an HDD but sometimes they may already have an SSD installed.
• 8Gb of Ram or more in dual channel.
• GTX 1050 ti 4Gb Graphics card or better, you may have to pay for a new card, if so ask for a GTX 1650
• 300 watt-ish Minimum Power Supply as long as the quality is ok, you can run a better Graphics card with a higher wattage PSU .
• Mini ATX size case, will probably be whatever old office PC these parts will come in, mostly an old Dell Optiplex.
• One exhaust fan.
• Windows 10 Home.

This system will probably be an old office PC selling for around $200-$250(sometimes cheaper), then ad $150(give or take) for the cheap new Graphics Card.

This setup will get you started and can play most games.

 

You can also find some goods deals on the used market if you are savvy at it, but I recommend looking in the small PC repair for your case.

 

Also, do you have a PC now? If so, maybe you can upgrade it and you can learn some skills.

this will run you a few dollars over, but it's the best you'll get.

I'm not really recommending it, but this should be a decent starter.  You will probably want to upgrade the power supply and add a GPU as your need and funds allow later.

For $330 shipped to his door, this is a fantastic deal for a new machine.  Yes, we all know we can source the same parts for a bit cheaper but at $330 we're near the floor for ANY new PC build.

 

It's a good starter, just like any cheap car it'll get you there but there's always better.

Probably the best sub $300 that can meet your requirements. 

Go with this one...

I was thinking about getting 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/10-Core-Gaming-Computer-Desktop-PC-Tower-3TB-8GB-DDR4-R7-Graphic-CUSTOM-BUILT/352216166128

That's not a ten-core, and the cpu qualifies in its performance at 4threads. The 'gpu' is an integrated gpu, suitable for office, browsing, videoreplay - but its gaming-capabilites end at about cities:Skylines, Sims 3/4, minecraft, Aragami...

They're not even counting the cores right, since the gpu does have 384 cores... err... shading units. But who cares?

Compared to the '10 core' it is definitely the better choice, by a magnitude. It seems to have dual-channel as well.

But if someone does only have $300 and is in need (somewhat...) for a real gaming pc he better buy a used one, imho.
