Hi everyone,
Was wondering in theory could you buy something like a dell 780, put a decent graphics gard in it and perhaps a better PS and have a usable gaming pc for under $125?
Is there a cheaper route. Just a mental excersize please don't bash me if im completly out of bounds.
Thanks

Something that cheap is impossible, even going 100% used route you'll get something only good for XB360 era games, maybe some from 2013 at lower settings

See if you can find a used 750ti and a rig with at least an i3 4300 and 4+gb of ram. If you can, you should be able to play older games just fine

Buy a Rasberry PI and overclock it. You might be able to run Doom.

All jokes aside, a useable gaming PC is not really possible unless you're really good at scamming people. That taken into account, you could buy crap off of ebay and put it in a cardboard box and run it out of that.

Uhh, theoretically if you were to get a PC like that, the graphics card that you would be able to afford with the remaining wouldn't make the thing worth it. Like 7FPS worth it.

Haha okay thanks,
I got word that my school was clearing out their 760's soon so I wanted to see if there was any use if I picked up one cheap.
I pretty sure they don't even have HDMI so im not sure what type if clarity I could get connected to an actual tv.
Thanks for th laughs
