Nope, not going to happen.

 

You have to go used... and that can be a headache in itself.

Nah, picking the best deals yourself will almost always get you a better overall price/performance.

Dropped it by $5.  Eventually you will want another 4GB of RAM.

How light? What games?

 

Could pick up a used Dell Optiplex with a Core 2 Quad and then throw a low power (and low profile) GPU into it. Maybe also pick up some more used RAM. Would most likely need a HDD and OS as most are old office PC's and the HDD's are pulled prior to sale. Would probably get you by better then anything else you could build for under $300.

 

 

Edit: I got a rig for sale, I'll PM you the details

you could probably just go the APU route
