Best 350 USD PC

[djdelarosa25]

Best bang-for-the-buck as possible. Not gonna upgrade

[Dzzope]

Go used for best bang for buck... youtube scrapyardwars..

Save your money for another $200 OP.

$550 can turn into something "good".

$350 probably won't even break "decent"

I'm a high school student. I'm not looking for anything crazy. I  just won the money on a pageant lol.

 

And no used parts please  My parents would kill me.

Get a console or go used m8. New is not an option.

[byalexandr]

Buy used.

 

I'd say for $350 you can get a system with an i3 and an R9 280. Maybe, if you're good at finding deals. If not then a G3258/860K and a 750 Ti/260X system shouldn't be too hard to come by.

 

Edit: Best I could do for new components:

What have they got against used parts?? 

For $350 you will not even get an i5 +decent mobo + decent case so go used or turn to the console side

$350 is not enough for a gaming PC Save up.

 

EDIT: I went to your profile. It looks like you've already got a system?

If you must use new parts then i would suggest waiting a few months until amd's AM4 platform and a couple of its apu's come out as they will probably be better bang for buck than whats out there currently
