I need some help, I need to make a good budget gaming pc but I only have $400 to $500 Canadian dollars to spend or around $280 to $350 american. What is the best bang for my buck pc I can build within my budget.

P.s. I would prefer new because the used market where I live is actual garbage like $950 gaming rigs with 1050s in it type garbage.

At that price point you can thing about an APU based system, nothing for modern games though. Do you have old pc components that could be reused, like power supplies, pc cases etc.?

Now that I look at it I'd change out the memory for some DDR4-3200 for only a few bucks extra, just a thought

thanks everyone for you responses it really means a lot and really anything would be better than my current so called gaming pc.

I am currently using an old intel pentium dual core not sure exactly which one that is clocked in at a whopping 3.2ghz, 4gb of ddr2 memory, a 750gb hdd and a 2gb gt 730 so thank you
