it was just a list of Cheap computers that can get the job done for gaming, listed from oldest to newest cpu socket, 1366(oldest cpu socket that can still play current games), 1155(second oldest), 2011 (R) (third oldest). i put ebay links for everything on that post, all you would need to do is add a gpu in your budget and you would be golden. alot of the ebay sellers sell internationally, so for for example you could get together a pc minus the gpu, that could play overwatch at 1080p Ultra with 100-140 fps(no AA)(depends on the map) for around 100 euro(euro is around 0.90 to the USD) then use the rest of the budget to get a good gpu, you could definitely get a RX480/GTX1060 or go for a GTX 1070 even. 

Im not the most knowledgeable when it comes to pcs, so please correct me if i'm wrong but is buying all used parts in the dell t3500 seperately cheaper than buying that off ebay, and wouldnt it be easy to customize the pc if u were to make a new pc from scratch?

I dont want to spend too much on a gpu as i got a budget so would buying a r9 380 2gb be a good gpu?? its similar to the geforce gtx 950

the used parts are not sold anymore, and they are around 50% cheaper to buy as a package then to buy separately, and yes it would allow you to customize more if you built a new pc from scratch, but it would cost 4-5x the price for similer performance.

 

price breakdown

 

dell t3500 90$-110$

-motherboard l new 70$-120$

-case(ugly) l 10$-30$

-includes 575w gold rated powersupply(dell branded) l to buy new would cost around 55$

-6-16GB of ram  l new would cost 10$-30$

 

a replacement cpu

-w3550(about  to something between a fx 6300(100$) and fx 8350) l costs only 11$

 

so the cost difference to a pc with close performance is 100$-120$ for the dell t3500 vs between 240$-385$ for the same performance on a new amd rig(not recommending them till zen comes out, just have close performance)
