You're better off buying a used GPU if you can find one.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

PC Build Guide – AMD M-ATX: (Less than 600$)

*CPU: AMD Athlon X4 880K (does not need after market cooler)

*Mobo: MSI A88XM Gaming M-ATX FM2+

*RAM: G.Skill Sniper Series (4x4GB) DDR3-2133MHz

*GPU: ASUS GeForce GTX 950 2GB

*PSU: XFX TS 650W

*Storage: Seagate 3.5" 2TB SSHD

*http://pcpartpicker.com/p/rcFrJx

 

Use this as base and cut down on stuff until you get it cheaper?

1. Get Athlon X4 845

2. Get A78M-E45 board

3. 8GBs of RAM but try to get same speed... (1866MHz is nice to)

4. Cheaper/smaller storage? (HDD or less storage SSHD)

5. Cheaper GPU! :D (750Ti or used?)

6. SteamOS?

Zen-III-X8-5900X (Gamestation 5)
