I've seen a lot of PC builds in the $275-350 range and most of them are miraculously lucky pricing that is hard to replicate, buying from shady sites like Wish/Ali Express, or they utilize components that are not quite up to snuff for modern gaming (R7 360 graphics etc). This build uses a mixture of new and used components for a budget system that can actually play the games that you want at High to Ultra settings on 1080P resolution. The most common PC components that are prone to failure are the traditional hard drives, and power supplies. This build uses a brand new SSD, and a brand new EVGA power supply to ease those worries. The rest of the components are a mix of new and used parts.

Depending on your motherboard, it may need to be flashed to more recent BIOS revision to support 3rd Gen i5/i7 processors (if it's an Intel board) and also may need to run a newer BIOS to work w/ the newer graphics card RX400 and RX500 series etc. These were available from Microsoft until just recently, but now they're no longer available. I will post links to downloads for the DH61CR motherboard. Lucky for me I have an i5 2100 that I use on these boards if I need to do a BIOS update.

Do bios updates in order, save it to usb flash drive, hit F7 at boot up, select your flash drive, select the update.

**If you try to do the Bios Rev 48 update off USB Flash and it states it's unsupported you are likely on one of the original Bios versions and will need to use the Express update from within windows for the first update to 48. Basically you'll install Windows without your graphics card installed (monitor connected directly to motherboard), and from windows download/run this update.

I cannot emphasize enough that if you're utilizing a 3rd gen i5/i7 and the BIOS on the board you get is prior to version 35, it will NOT support the processor. So you'll want to try (or hope) to verify with seller your board has a later BIOS (most of them do). Otherwise just buy an Intel i3-2100 or i3-2120 (they sell for $7-10 shipped) just to be safe to be able to update your BIOS. If you have any questions or concerns hit me up and I can help out.
