Cheapest Budget Gaming build with low electricity consumption


PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg.com, ncix.com -- to show us selection & pricing
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Philippines

OVERCLOCKING: No SLI OR CROSSFIRE: No

MONITOR RESOLUTION:1920 x 1080 (21.5” preferred brand Samsung). ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: low electricity consumption is very important.

1. Low cost gaming builds, but can perform gaming my target is all latest games playable on decent settings at a MONITOR RESOLUTION of 1920 x 1080. Plus Cost is important cause I need 200 units of gaming pc.
2. Durable parts for heavy usage like 15 to 20 hours a day.
3. Less Electricity consumption.
4. The gaming build should be cool no fans needed just one built in auxiliary fan.
5. Motherboard that can withstand frequent brownouts, cause in my country brown out happens almost twice a week.
 
As a side note; if brownouts happen frequently, seriously consider a UPS. APC is a good brand. Size it to 80% of the computer PSU watts rating + the monitor power in watts. 15 minutes capacity should be good enough for you to shut down the computer.
