Is it possible to make a $300 gaming pc. Im looking for it to be able to run battlefield 4 and maybe some other games on medium with a good 35 fps?

 

[bodeen2012]

try to find one used . 300 is not a good starting point .

Kind of. As long as you only need the computer, you can run BF4 on low at MAYBE 25-30 FPS. MAYBE.

Here's a build that's the closest to what you want for the price. Keep in mind that there's not way you'll be running BF4 on MEDIUM with 35 FPS.

Yes, with a cheap AMD apu. +1 for the build above.. But i would really advise to spend a little bit more and get a75 chipset and a larger hard drive. Maybe even faster/more ram because you need fast ram with apu.

+1
More RAM is always better with an APU. ANY extra money at all you could spend is good. Also, refer back to the "Can I build a BF4 Computer for $200" thread.

Plus 1 for the intel build, far better base rig than the amd on board kit.
The pent settup would rinse that in games.

 

[Sylvanriv]

+2 for the Pentium build. Didn't even realize that was an option.

 

[kingluca]

Well which one then guys? The pentuim or amd build?
