Budget Gaming PC

[ConMan23]

300$ is my budget i can amp it up to like 350 or 400 but im staying around that zone.

My first time building a gaming pc. All i have used in the past is a laptop for gaming which is not pleasant.

 

Im going to be running games like Warframe Cs:go l4d2 Unturned Killing Floor and TF2.

Im planning on using only 1 monitor 1920x1080 simple and under the budget gets the job done.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FM2LdX also i need some good tutorials for building a gaming pc step by step.

Yeah that system isn't very good.

In your price range , buy used pre assembled... not build. If you buy seperate parts new with only 300$ you'll end up spending more for slower parts that just happen to be new rather than faster used parts.

That build doesn't even have an ssd in it which is borderline a windows 10 requirement with how much it screws around with the disk constantly.

if 300 is all you have, then look for a used i5/1366 xeon prebuilt and a good GPU instead.

Is that the PC you're thinking of building, or the one you currently use?

you will when the game is accessing the disk for assets while you are playing the game. the lower the amount of ram you use the more often it'll need disk access.
