I need a cheap gaming PC to run Portal 2, CS:GO, Half-Life 2, and other stuff like that, please help. I don't have any brands in mind, but these are the specs, HD, HDMI, dual or quad core, at least 2.5ghz core, processor fan included, 8gb ram, Windows 10, at least 500gb storage, and under $350. If anyone can help it would be great. I also know computers, so if it's a build I don't mind, I'd actually prefer a build. ? Also, is there a PCU that has onboard graphics similar to some GPU's?

nice config, i think the on board graphics will be better with AMD but this system has great upgrade potential

He is asking for windows 10 and probably doesn't want to hack in order to have a version from it, so that's why it's almost impossible to have a good build with windows 10 in it for 300$..I would still recommend to get a little bit to AT LEAST have a dedicated GPU in it.

So true it hurts

You should watch 350$ PC Builds on YT. But to get the whole PC Blast, you have to spend more. But its worth it.

If you want to upgrade the CPU in the future to an i5 or i3 you can because Kaby Lake CPU's will be compatible with Skylake era boards.
