pc Help build a PC for $350 or less

[pogchamptime]

Hello fellow PC users. My laptop is starting to see the end of it's days and I want to "upgrade" to a desktop. I'm not a very wealthy person (15 years old) and I'm selling somethings and hopefully attempting to get $350 or more. I already have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse but I want to be able to build a new PC for cheap. I tend to play games like Overwatch, League of Legends, World Of Warcraft, Hearthstone, Elder Scrolls Online, etc.. Is there any possibility someone can help me build a cheap gaming PC to potentially run these games at high for a low budget. I'd be very grateful. Thank you very much.

Are used components an option? None of those games are particularly demanding, but you can still get much better performance for $350 if you can buy used.

If you can spend $400, you can get a MUCH better build.

I thought you could post ebay links -- just not in deals/classifieds/other forms of advertisements.

Used would be okay.

I get why they're taking that stance....but honestly, it's stupid.

New, G4560 + H110 board + GTX 1050.

Used will depend on the state of the market.

Well imagine someone linking a used shady ebay link and then OP go ahead order it. Whose to blame? Blaming OP for not looking at the link first or blaming us for putting wrong link?

the 4500 is very bad. it's a dual core, but it doesn't even have hyper threading. that means that far cry wont even launch because the CPU is too weak.

the G4560 is cheaper AND more powerful.

You could make the same argument about me linking some garbage on Amazon.
