Cheap PC Help

[HeyImDylan]

I need a cheap computer I can play some games on. My budget is around 250 - 300$. I looked into getting some server parts, but couldn't find a cheap case that would work. I'm fine if it's built with server parts, or consumer grade parts.. I already have a MATX case by the way..

What kind of games? We talking AAA titles like Battlefield 1 here or less resource intensive games like Minecraft?

Also what specific case do you currently have?

Scrimp and save what you can and get a decent used GPU, like a R9 290... or something along those lines.

If you can save another $60 this will be well worth it since it has a dedicated GPU.

Have a look at some used sites like CeX , Craigslist, and Ebay for some deals, there was a  GTX 770 2GB on Cex for $90..
