In an attempt to prove my friend and father wrong, I am attempting to make a $300 gaming pc. Now this wouldn't be hard, except for the pc has to meet a few requirements. First- It must have a minimum of 16 gigs of ram. Second, It must have a quad core processor. third, it must be all new or refurbished parts. NOTHING USED. And finally, It must cost no more than 300 usd.

 

I seek your help

Yes. It would also help if you already have a CPU, motherboard, RAM, and power supply... Don't happen to have any of those lying around by any chance?
