Go to solution Solved by RCruey,

I'll be honest. If you're wanting a computer for low end gaming and to start learning programming then you're probably going to have better luck going to a pawn shop or your local retail store and buying a computer from there instead of building one. Now if you're looking to build a computer still for under $250 then you're going to have to make some serious sacrifices. You could get a decent graphics card for about $75 and that's a good start. So browse around ebay and find some parts. You might be able to do something with that. So okay, i'll assume that you want CHEAP AS POSSIBLE. So i'm going to exclude a windows operating system. Use linux instead for this build (especially if you're learning programming). So let's see:

 

(CPU) https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113287

(RAM) https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231277

(Motherboard)https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128565

(Case With Power Supply) https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147098

(HDD Adapter) https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA90839R4286&cm_re=3.5_to_2.5_hard_drive-_-9SIA90839R4286-_-Product

(HDD) https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820242399

 

I assume you'll get SATA Cables for your drives and such. Also I didn't include a CD/DVD drive so you could boot from a USB device. Also external cd/dvd drives aren't expensive. So cutting a lot of corners your price comes toooooo.............

 

$276.34 

You can cut some more prices by switching HDD's or lowing your RAM. But that's about as good as I can get you. Hope this helped.

If you come pick it up I'll sell you a laptop for $1. There pc lowest possible price. Just saying tho it "works" but the battery is missing, charging cord is attached directly to the MB, and I think the hard drive is dying.

You played 2 hours to die like this?

Specs

Cpu: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6cores

Gpu: GTX 750 Ti (Zotac)

Mb: 970A-G46 ATX AM3+ (MSI)

Case: Phanteks Eclipse P400

10gb Ram

Don't expect any useful information in return if you cannot provide any in the first place. It's common sense.

 

State your budget. State your intended uses of the PC. State whether or not you need peripherals, a monitor or an OS. And then we can get you a suitable parts list. Just saying "I need a PC at the lowest possible price" isn't going to cut it.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Spoiler

CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K - 4.5 GHz | Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO | RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 | SSD: Samsung 850 EVO - 500GB | GPU: MSI GTX 980 Ti Gaming 6GB | PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 | Case: NZXT Phantom 530 | Cooling: CRYORIG R1 Ultimate | Monitor: ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q | Peripherals: Corsair Vengeance K70 and Razer DeathAdder

Here is a budget build I listed for you. Depending on what you want to use your computer for, this may or may not be a good option for you. This should, however, be perfectly fine for light gaming at 1080p and regular tasks, such as browsing and word processing.
