$300 Build Challenge

Hardware Build a PC
#1

I have $300 for a PC. What is the best performance I can get for that price? I want to play mostly BF3/4.

I already have a 80GB Hard drive and external dvd-rom. 

I CAN'T go over $300.

Thanks.

80gb is too small here... http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1sSx9 should run games fine on 720p and you could add a 7950 or somthing later.

#3

That would be a very low end PC. You would need to run at 720p at low-medium settings. I suggest saving up some more money for something better.

#4

I would say upgrade a older pc or a freebee someones gives away . It might be possible.

All I was going to install was OS and Battlefield 4 then at Christmas I could get a hard drive.

The build is good enough to play BF4 at 720p low-medium settings at 30~FPS.
