Do you live near microcenter?
If so, g3258 and z97 pc mate $100
(But then you would need to overclock)
 
You really can't get a gaming computer at that price, so this is a ery inexpensive computer around $300.

I am not a magician. This is the best i would let you go with. You need more ram since Graphic process will use same ram as CPU process.

Hard drive was same price so got you a 1 TB

it is a 720P build

This video card is very weak. you will not be able to play medium setting. even in 720P 400 $ would be a more reasonable budget and would allow you to get a decent R7 250X
