Need help with a build...

Budget (including currency): $350 USD (I don't trust myself to build a PC, so I'll get it built by a pro)

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Light gaming, light programming, light media and casual browsing

Other details: Please suggest some good builds in the price range - also, any good PC building services for $100 USD or less? (if there are good pre-builts as well, please tell me)

 

I indicated that I would use the PC for light work, but I still want something somewhat powerful (not total crap).

 

Note that the budget does not include building services. Also, this is sort of urgent - please help ASAP.

 

Please help, thanks!

I'm not American, but as JayzTwoCentz and Austin Evans recent video, you may try to check at Micro Center (sorry, not sponsored)

I'm not sure if the place you live is in walking distance or car travel across the country, but it's worth a shot

 

My System: Ryzen 7800X3D // Gigabyte B650 AORUS ELITE AX // 32GB 6000MHz DDR5 Silicon Power Zenith CL30 // Sapphire Pulse AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT OC with mod heatsink on the metal plate  // Phanteks P300A  // Gigabyte Aorus GEN4 7300 PCIE 4.0 NVME // Kingston NV2 Gen4 PCIE 4.0 NVME // 

Seasonic Focus GX-850 Fully Modular // Thermalright Frost Spirit 140 Black V3 // Phanteks M25 140mm // Display: Bezel 32MD845 V2 QHD // Keychron K8 Pro (Mod: Gateron black box ink; Tape mode on PCB and Keycaps) // Razer Cobra Wired Mouse // Audio Technica M50X Headphone // Sennheiser HD 650 // Genius SP-HF180 USB Speaker //

Just this much? Check your local pawn shop and Facebook marketplace for Coffee Lake era OptiPlex. That would do you so much better than what we can do brand new.

There are plenty of systems on the used market with GTX 1080-class GPUs for this price or sometimes less.  That'll play anything you want quite well.  As far as everything else, just make sure windows is installed on an SSD.  If it's not, you can get one insanely cheap these days.

I edit the shit out of my posts.  Refresh before you respond.

You can go for this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8vZRDx. 3200G have integrated GPU and with only $350, it was near impossible to get a external GPU
