Well, I am stuck with a GTX 750 TI, and I can't seem to find a case it will fit in without being low profile. I wanted to build a gaming pc this year because I can't stand integrated graphics. Now I wanna build this cheap, and by now I would've returned the GPU if I wasn't on a strict budget. I also wanna get away from PS3 as their player base is very annoying and are antagonizing people. I would like a core 2 duo or an i5 inside it, and I wanna stay >$110. I would've got a case and components, but this is my first time building and I don't wanna be overwhelmed. I wanna see if it is true that I can get a computer that will preform better than a console at the same price. Please, give me knowledgeable answers! I don't want to waste 300 dollars. If you are wondering, my GPU is a MSI NGTX750TI OC. (not low profile)

I think I know what he means, he's talking about buying a used pre-built, like a Dell, then popping a videocard into it and there you have it. A cheap gaming computer. You can pick up a Sandy Bridge era i5 2400 based computer, add the 750 Ti, and you're good to go.

His problem is a lot of pre-builts are small, due to the manufacturers saving money on cases by using nonstandard small sizes. So figuring out which cases have enough room is an issue. I think it's unreasonable though to think there's a master list somewhere of computers that can accept full size cards. The best you can do is narrow your choice down to a specific computer, then research that model to find out if it'll fit. If not, look for another computer, repeat process.

Here's the thing, will a dual core work for gaming, yes. Will you get the most performance comparing to an i5, no. So what I understood from your question, you want a CPU and a case under $300? An entire gaming computer minus a video card will be a little tuff under $300.

What I recommend you do is use PCPartPicker. It's very easy and it tells you everything you need to know about compatibility, and you can sort compatible components by price also.

Can you build a PC for the same price as a PS4? No. Why? 1st and foremost is upgradeability. You aren't stuck with the components inside the console. Secondly, coming in an extremely close 2nd is versatility. A PC can do much more than a PS4 can.

And your question is a bit on the confusing side. You say under $110 for the CPU.On one side it seems you realize the least expensive CPU(that will offer similar performance) is around $100. But then you suggest a +$200 i5. You then say you don't want to waste $300.

The CPU is $100. The operating system is $90. The case is $40 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811853004&cm_re=Mini_itx_case-_-11-853-004-_-Product . You are not going to find a motherboard, hard drive, DVD drive, RAM and a Power supply unit for $70.


If $300 is all you can afford the consoles are your best best.

As you can see it's $300 in the parts list above, for just the hardware.

Take a look at the PSU. A 350W PSU. What if you want to upgrade to a 1060 one day? You need to buy another PSU that is at least 400W. It will be okay for the 1050ti(2GB model is about $109) but nothing better. I'd not purchase anything less than a 400W PSU. QUALITY PSU. This allows you to upgrade parts in the future without having an added expense of a new PSU.
