I realize the irony of doing what essentially amounts to advertising on a socialist site, but I wanted to put this out there for comrades that are low on cash, but want a gaming pc. This is a pretty difficult deal to beat in terms of bang-per-buck. The only thing I it's lacking is a little bit of memory, but that can be upgraded at any time, and it'll probably play most modern games short of Crysis very well right out of the box.

Edit: This one is better, and $50 cheaper

    As a more budget friendly alternative to low end brand new hardware, here's another recommendation: go a gen or two back. Doing a build with parts from discounted 2nd or 3rd gen ryzen, for example, can get you great oomph for the money. Same goes for 7000 / 9000 series intel instead of the most recent 10000. There's also always the venerable old option of buying a used business pc like a few year old dell optiplex for 100-200$ and plopping a 1050, 1030 or similar tier gpu for gaming abilities without having to upgrade power supply. That's the great thing about pc's, there's plenty of options
