Alright, thank you guys for the replies, I'll try to start an ultra cheap build, since this pc is very small factor meaning the power supply is very small. This might mean that if the mobo, cpu, and gpu I choose don't seem to get along with the psu, I'll have a very difficult time finding one as small as this one, and by that point I'd rather just buy a new pc altogether. Thanks for bringing the cpu and such to my attention!

Just to let you in a pretty good budget build http://pcpartpicker.com/list/6P2JVY ill prob be building something similar to this for my brother, cheapest parts but still can play alot of games really well (like basiclly anything).

I own this really low-end pc from Gateway. (http://www.gateway.com/gw/en/US/content/sx-series/sx-series) I got it a few years ago and I recently got some medium-end games to play on it. It opens them, but the 1.5 Ghz AMD E1-1500 APU along with its just as bad graphics, Radeon HD 7310, make it run horribly bad. I was looking for a gpu that's cheap, nothing too fancy, but that can run games at decent FPS, no matter if graphics are set to low everything. I don't care for the looks since I don't usually look inside the computer anyways. I opened it and it does have a slot for one, or at least I think, I'll take a picture if requested. Thanks for your time and cooperation. :3

A picture would be nice. Also, you are going to need to upgrade that CPU and mobo if you don't want a bottleneck, it should be doable under $150.

Depending on how it its, a gtx 750 ti or a 950 would be suitable. I can't tell if it's a low profile case or not, if it is, then 750 ti you go.

Yeah your gonna really need to upgrade that motherboard, and cpu before playing anything a low-mid tier gpu will do almost nothing.

Thanks for the build, really appreciate it. You saved me the trouble of having to go through cheap parts myself :)

If the case is very small with half height expasion slot s I would recommend a GT 740 low pro with 2GB GDDR5. I initially ran one in my FX 4300 build. It was a good card, but I upgraded and gave the card to my daughter for Warframe and Minecraft.
