I'm looking to build a gaming computer that can run all new games on at least mid settings. I am kind of on a tight budget but am looking to upgrade in the future. So please help. Everyone's opinion helps!

$350 is really not much to work with when your aiming for something with a upgrade future, if you do not have a copy of windows and a case with a some what current power supply your options are pretty limited.

1. Barebones from Newegg, Tigerdirect or other chain.... usually a semi crappy MB with not much future.

2. Check Craiglist,Ebay and local classified and sources like http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/forums/buy-sell-trade-giveaway-forum.43/, http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewforum.php?f=12, http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/8/classifieds.html, http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/buy-sell-trade/, for used parts that you may pick up very cheap.

3. Save your money and aim for around $500 and build something with a little more...

3. Save your money and aim for around $500 and build something with a little more potential, I'm not a big fan of "Budget" computers MB with no overclocking and sockets with not much future potential just don't seem worth the effort when your frustrated with crappy frame rates less than 2 years down the road.

This guy has a good build but I edited it just a little bit because you already have a case. I got you faster RAM and a faster and larger hard drive. And with mail in rebates it's under your budget. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/xmXHqs
