So I built an entire gaming pc setup for less than $150 ($120). it has an i7 920 13gb of ram 1tb hard drive hdd a cheap gaming gpu r7 260x from an oem computer Heres how I did it:

So this setup, from the computer, to the monitors, to the keyboard. I sold all of it $120 and still made a profit. And this isn't a crappy PC either, it has an i7, 13 gb of ram, an ssd, a hard drive , and a good gaming graphics card, the r7260x. It's extremely difficult to find all these components for so cheap, so, let's jump right into it and I'll explain just how I accomplished such a feat.
First things first, I'm gonna be honest and tell you that a very specific set of circumstances allowed me to build such a computer for this cheap. We'll start off with the star of the show, the computer. We initially found this computer in a recycling dumpster, and, with permission, were allowed to take it as our own. When we first acquired it, there was no hard drive but asides from a dented case, it had no downsides. It was an oem machine, the dell 435mt, with an i7 920, an hd 4850, and 6 gb of ram. So, I bought a 1 TB 7200rpm hard drive for $30 on sale at newegg and installed windows 10 on it and after a bit of testing, decided that this computer had much potential. However, if I wanted this computer to be able to run modern games at a good framerate, I would need a substantially better graphics card. So, after going through the offerup and ebay marketplace for a few weeks, I was able to snag an r7 260x for only $33. It was essentially brand new and worked perfectly with this system. Now, 6gb of ram would be enough to run games at, but it'd be a pretty crappy experience. So, after searching through more marketplaces, I got an 8gb stick of ddr3 ram for only $17. Now, an interesting thing about the dell 435mt is that it had 6 slots of ram with 1gb in each slot. So, after installing the stick of 8gb, I had a total of 13gb of ddr3, plenty enough to run most modern games with. The last thing i would add to the system was a 500gb 850 EVO Samsung SSD. I originally acquired this SSD for I believe about $80 2 or 3 years ago, as another sale from newegg. However, if you run the math, that would not equate to a profit if I sold the computer system for only $120. But, I didn't take this into account since the computer was for a friend without a lot of money and I hadn't been using the ssd for over a year. I found the same model on the used market for $50, though, but other 500gb ssds can be found for about 40. Now, you may be curious why I didn't upgrade the i7 920, and that's because we were trying to keep costs low, and even after a $40 upgrade, the theoretical performance increase wouldn't be very significant.
ame goes for a wifi card I installed in the computer and the new, unsed, keyboard. Side note though, thet $20. My friend was in town from across the country so we met up and I sold the system to him which he still uses to this day. He says It was a well worth upgrade from the mid tier laptop he was previously using.
Well then, now that we gots its origin story out of the way, how about we take a look at its performance in a few modern popular titles. But keep in mind that actual performance will be higher than demonstrated today since all recording was done internally and impacted the overall performance of the system.
We begin with one of the most popular games ever, minecraft. This game released over a decade ago in 2009 and semi recently experienced a resurgence in popularity. During testing, the game was run with lowest settings, 9 chunks, and a resolution of 1600x900, all while delivering a smooth experience as we watch this small village burn to the ground. The gameplay generally remains this way as one traverses minecrafts seemingly infinite world but will occasionally slow down to load chunk updates. This is well demonstrated when a house is filled with explosives and is triggered. It's not very impactful on overall gameplay, but is worth mentioning nonetheless.
Following minecraft was valves' counter strike global offensive. Released in 2012, csgo has been popular among hundreds of thousands of players and is frequently used to benchmark computer systems. On this computer system, obviously csgo ran well and there were no dips in the frame rate as gameplay remained enjoyable. It was run with the lowest settings in the 1600x900p resolution and performed well. Higher settings could easily be achieved, but a higher framerate is often preferable in games such as counter strike.
Fortnite was the next game to be tested on this computer, which is coincidentally one of the primary reasons it was purchased in the first place. It, like the other games tested today, was run with low settings in 1600x900p. The footage of this game was impacted more than the other games due to recording with obs, so gameplay is generally smoother. Still, even while recording, the frame rate, as shown in the top right of the screen,
