How to Build a $200 Gaming PC

[_AM]

Basically add a cheap gpu to a cheap office pc

[_mpwp_]

I’m trying to find a cheap used pc for under $300 but it is so hard because they get snagged almost instantly after being put up

My favorite part was when the person from the comment said that they want a "gaming" pc for 200$

[drupul]

My dad flipped so many of those optiplex office pcs from his work

Bro didnt want to say he was buying 200$ pc for himself

I got a dell precision 3620 with an intel Xeon E3-1245 v5 (same performance as a i7-7700), and a 300GB SSD for 60GBP
and got a RX6600m from AliExpress for around 70GBP including tax. It cost around 130GBP or 160USD and it is a gaming beast.

In my opinion if the pc is not a necessity you should save up your money and get something good and actually worthwhile

This is actually really similar to how I built my first gaming pc. Slapped at $200 graphics card into my dad's old computer he got from work.

I did this, picked up an Optiplex, slapped an Intel gpu in it since it could do decent performance off the rail and a 500gb ssd with a used 16gb ddr3 kit for $130. Works great even to this day.

There's some pretty respectable mini PCs with integrated graphics that can handle a lot of games for very cheap as well.

Literally did this last week. Dell Optiplex 7020 for 99 dollars with an i7-4790, add a cheap SSD for 20 bucks, some ddr3 RAM for 15 bucks, and I found a 1060 6gb for 75 bucks! (Needed a SATA power to 6+2 pin to power the GPU)

Runs amazing, whole build under 230 bucks all-in. Could have found a cheaper optiplex with an i5 maybe to hit that 200 dollar price tag, also could have saved some on secondhand SSD and ram instead of Amazon.

I literally just got a Dell Optiplex 3020 for $40, and it came with a 500 gig hdd. normally the oem pcs on ebay dont come with storage.

Rx 580 is also a great gpu for these tyoes of builds

[Fantas_YT]

I did a decent 300$ build with aliexpress going for a mobo xeon cpu combo for about 50-70$ and got a rx580 for 70-80$, got a 650w psu and 16 gigs of ddr4 3200mhz ram, i did kinda cheap out on the storage and well, that was the only issue on the pc

A week ago, I got a dell alienware aurora r7 with i7 8700, 16gb ram, gtx 1080 2tb hdd and an optane ssd for literally free. The pc was used once, just once to test if a vr worked and then stashed for a month before getting rid of it.

That pc you showed me was literally the one my high school used for the tech class😂

[ShreshthaBhalekar]

I have it i also got an GTX 1650 low profile now it's is able to do gaming in 1080p low to mid and sometimes high graphics gaming i will personally recommend it❤❤

Paring old oem office pc with RTX 3050 6GB it's good
