Strict Budget of 200 dollars for a gaming pc. Is this build any good?

Archgaull

Admirable
Don't even bother. Save up more money, because even something like $400 is probably the bare minimum to run today's games, even the crappy ones. There is no way you would get a $200 PC to run a graphical beast like Crysis 3 at any playable rates.
 
You could only play minecraft and csgo at low setting at playable framerate with that budget but i would save up more money

This is the best you can get for 200$

Medium settings for Crysis are hard to get on a budget. BF 4 isn't as bad, but that rig won't run it at medium. The cheapest thing you could get for that would be around $400 to $500. I have never played Crysis, but I do know it is one of the most demanding games out there to date. For a good mainstream rig I'd recommend something like this:

A lower end GPU like an R9 270 could be used instead of the 285, but it wouldn't be that much cheaper and would be noticably slower. I wouldn't recommend anything lower than an R9 270. The 285 will run most anything on high to max settings with good frame rates. Remember, when building a rig you can buy certain parts and not worry about them being dead and needing to be returned so you can space the purchases out a bit. The CPU and case can be bought first as they don't need to be tested for failure. The board, GPU, RAM, power supply, and hard drives should be bought at around the same time in case they arrive dead. That way you stay within the 30 days the retailer gives you to return faulty hardware.
