Help! I'm trying to build a decent quality gaming PC for AS CHEAP AS POSSIBLE.

gtftomshardware · Jan 6, 2014

I have an old Hewlett-Packard computer that's about 10 years old. I can use the case from that, as there's nothing wrong with it. I need parts. I want to game on it (at medium or high settings) for as cheap as possible. Nothing too heavy like overclocking will run. Some of my Steam games that I'd be running are:
COD: Black Ops 2
Team Fortress 2
Skyrim (modded)
PlanetSide 2
Just Cause 2
Just Cause 2; Multiplayer Mod

I have a keyboard and monitor as peripherals. I won't be needing a disk drive (obviously digital downloads) but I need at least a 500GB HDD

Thanks for any responses/help!
