Make me a Pc rig that can run crysis 3 on high settings and get 45 FPS for $350

Not really possible at high settings. Do you need just the tower? OS? Peripherals?

Fine you want the PSU tier list? Have the PSU tier list: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40-rev-103/

I said give me parts like what can I use

Do,you have a current rig you use? If so what are the specs of it? Also... As I suggested. Go used. Possibly,see whats on Craigslist near you. Look for R9 285, R9 280, or R9 280x, i5-2500k, A decent but cheap case, compatible motherboard, Z77 or Z67 I believe. 8GBs of Ram, get windows for $20-$25 off G2A or Reddit, a new PSU ( XFX, SEAsonic. Or Antec High Current Gamer, and a HDD. Link some stuff you find for reasurance. Also as said, specs.

With his budget, he's not going to be able to afford an i5 or anything in the R9 series.

I do not think you find the concept,of USED, i5-2500k and Z67-Z77 can go as low as $140, R9-280/x pr R9 285s go cheap. Ect...

Even with used, if he gets that kind of stuff, he's going to end up with a piece of crap for his PSU.

  

I took the PC from my cousin. He still has no clue

Give me a few minutes, looking around on eBay

You can reuse that 200GB HDD For now until you get more money, look around on Craigslist for R9 280/x or R9 285, GTX 680s, GTX 780s ect. Whatever you can find. For Ram, Just find some cheap 8GB kit. For the PSU 400+w Antec HCG, SeaSonic, or XFX. Look around on Craigslist to see if anyone near has some cheap Ram or cheap GPUs, people may have like a GPU/Case combo ect. This is just an idea.

Crysis on high won't be happening, but otherwise just get an APU rig, maybe add a case

What games or other software do you need to run?
