I want to build a computer or find a prebuilt one for under $200. I was thinking something like A 4core Pentium and a graphics card similar to a gt 730. Or even an old server build that I can just put something like a 1030 in it or something. You get the idea, Low end cheap computer that will be able to run games at a CONSTANT frame rate as long as it is above 30 god damn it.

You could build a computer with amd new apu, but it would come close to 300. But the apu is comperable to a gt 1030.

You see I am looking for something SUPER cheap and if it only has 4 cores wth 1.9Ghz or something I would be fine because I could most likely Turbo boost it to get about 2.4Ghz or more so I would be happy with that

Buy used. A Q6600/Q8200+ an hd 7950/ hd 7770/ gtx 660/ R9 270. Any of the used options will outperform a new build at this price.

THANK YOU MY DUDE!!! This is the type of thing I was looking for. Finally someone that knows their low end stuff

I have a friend who has an amd athlon quad core pc with 8 gb of ddr3 and a gtx 750 ti he is willing to sell for $180 if you are interested. the hard drive is only 160gb, but it has an install of windows 7 unlocked. of course, shipping would have to be taken into consideration.

 

That is, unless this is a troll post. in which case, you did well my friend.

Yep, thats a good deal, throw a GTX 660 or a HD 7950/ R9 270 and it will be more than capable of gaming at 1080p med.
