You're better off buying an old Dell optiplex than buying this: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/hascicm/saved/jztGf7

 

Here's one I found for around $150: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Optiplex-790-990-Tower-Windows-7-Pro-I5-Quad-Core-3-4GHz-4GB-DVD-RW-WiFi/232270826361?hash=item36146b8b79:g:HvUAAOSwax5YyBSt

 

Of course you can throw in another HDD or SSD if needed.

budget is arround 300 - 350 for whole PC including DVD-burner, power source and case.

if you can suggest some alternatives,  i would  be thankfull :)

Bivas v Slovensku, hm? :P

 

I'd definitely go with an APU for this build. Not only can it be smaller if you buy a case like the InWin Chopin, but it'll be cheaper as well.
