Buy an old DELL pc with an old core i5 from eBay and then throw a GPU into that sucker (like an RX560/RX570/equivalent) it has never let me down just make sure that you don't buy a half-sized thin boi that doesn't fit a GPU (and make sure it has a PCI-E x16 slot).

bit over budget but I tried my best, realistically if you actually want to be under 300 you will need to go used
