Looking to build a computer for christmas with a low budget of around $350, im fine with medium settings but 1080p would be nice. Also something with a total cost of $350, not $425 but $350 after rebates because those are a pain. Can anybody give me a part list or suggestions about a good build? Thanks!

Go used or go home. $350 is meant for low budget office builds and quite frankly APUs will not cut 1080p Med Settings with good frame rares.

I would not buy something with a cheap PSU and something they will barely last the next 6-10 months. Going used will yield much more performance
