$150-200 Gaming PC

polarix · Oct 19, 2015

I want to build my first gaming PC. I don't have a lot to spend on it at the moment and wont for quite some time, but I was wondering if it would be possible to build one for around $150-200? It must be able to be upgraded in the future. All I would be playing on it would be emulators and maybe WoW or SWtoR on low settings. It can go over budget a little, but I would like to try to stay in that price range if at all possible. Thank you for your time.

Not really.... at the most basic of levels, you'd need about $650.... and that doesn't include mouse, KB, monitor

I think at that price range, you should buy a half decent used system.
If you have your heart set on doing a build, then take it apart and put it back together again.

nope; the baseline for a barebones pc is $400; and you won't be gaming much at that price point. if you want an upgradeable barebones pc, you'll probably be spending $650

you will have to buy used and get a bit lucky
go spend like 100$ on a used dell optiplex then put gtx 750 in it.
you will get plenty of performance from this

Will a Dell Optiplex 780 SFF Core 2 Quad Q9400 2.6GHz 2GB 160GB work?

If the 2GB is maxed out, no.
I can't even run Google Chrome with WinXP on mine. It goes upto more than 1GB used on IDLE.
Make sure you can atleast add another 2GB in there.
