Solution
Here is the cheapest I can do while feeling ok with the parts I am recommending, anything cheaper will likley result in a big decrease in quality.
Now the total is $411, this is WIHTOUT windows and has $40 in mail in rebates.

CPU: Intel Core i3-4150 3.5GHz Dual-Core Processor ($98.99 @ NCIX US)
Motherboard: ASRock H81M-HDS Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($49.99 @ Micro Center)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($44.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($48.49 @ Amazon)
Video Card: Asus Radeon R7 260X 2GB DirectCU II...
By the time you upgrade this to be able to support the 260x and upgrade that pitiful amount of ram, it would cost you more then to just custom build a pc.

Would not even want to see what cheap horrible pile of sh** psu they probably put in that computer to sell it cheap.
 
Do you need windows, with windows that is just not possible?
Even with windows is rough without using crap parts, $450 would be a more reasonible amount.

The $300 computer needed the GPU +$120, a better PSU +$40 and to get it to 4gb ram +$40 and it it had no windows OS on it, so with windows that would be another +$90. That makes it just south of $600 to make that $300 computer usable for gaming.
