Do you need an OS? The best you can probably get is 60FPS on low settings at that price and 40-50 on medium on today'a games.

IMO you can't build a gaming machine for $350.
Not for real games.
It takes a $700 computer to equal ether of the new consoles.

@mill are you kidding me? 700 dollars? Nope I made a gaming computer for 400 usd and I max minecraft out, I can play gmod 60 fps+ team fortress 2 60+, I know these aren't flash games but come on! I agree with 300 you can't make anything good ESPECIALLY if you need a monitor and keyboard. Heres best I can think of http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vqnYRB

It definitely won't play Battlefield 4 at ultra settings at 1080p with 60 fps but it will play casual games such as Tf2, Garry's mod, Minecraft just fine. If you want to play BF4, play on low setting at 1080p and expect 30fps

Some people have a pretty low opinion of what a gaming machine is.
To each his own.

This is a good entry-level gaming build w/ an overclockable motherboard+cpu and a good gpu. 4GB RAM is enough for any game but you have to keep applications closed when gaming. 500GB HD is enough for a bunch of games. good entry-level psu and case.
