- buy some cheap second hand Dell, with some old quad core

- buy a cheap second hand GPU like an R9 270 or whatever.

 

Basically there is nothing really good new for 150 USD.

sure, here is what i can get for $150 because i buy used parts:

I3 530

H55-E33

4GB RAM

GTX 660

Delta 400W PSU

250GB 7200rpm HDD

and a case is for those with money so just get a cardboard box untill you can bother to get something nice

 

that would go in at about $130ish 

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Not brill but you should be able to play some games a 720p quite easily :D 

 

(by the way, get used, nothing will do well with a $150 budget new)

 

edit: ermmm I forgot a PSU...ermmmm...add another $15 for a chiesum PSU and you're good ;)

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

But you'd have to change the PSU to something that won't shit itself...
