I don’t know what your local market looks like, but probably. The goal is still an i7 6xxx or i5 8xxx or newer. At least 210W PSU, and find a way to 16fb RAM. SSD is absolutely required. RAM and SSD prices have dramatically fallen in the US at least, not sure about worldwide. The Rx 6400 can be bought new on Amazon, Alibaba, or straight from AMD.

Try to find a mid-high end computer which is several years old and upgrade it. Where I am, you absolutely can not build a computer cheaper than buying a slightly outdated one.

Oh yeah, I meant for those to be a list. It should read:

Computer - $40

GPU - $120

SSD - $40

I don’t think I can edit the OP, sorry

I only sell them locally in my city period, but yes I am operating from the US. You can try to follow the guide above and build your own, though! Shipping costs would make this much less cost effective, potentially.

I run a small computer repair shop and do some work with local charities, and they get a lot of requests for gaming PCs that they can’t fulfill. This is just a solution for that.

I only sell them locally period, and only a limited supply. You can try to follow the guide above and build your own, though! Shipping costs would make this much less cost effective, potentially.

I’ve sold two of them to parents so far for exactly that purpose. Gamer parents who want to play with their kids, but not spend a ton of money on something that the kids might spill water on.

Three reasons!

One, it is a very well known game.

Two, it is a pretty good looking game which is well optimized.

Three, it is locked to 60 FPS! That gives us a tangible goal when building, and if we can meet that FPS goal you get the same experience as someone with a $3,000 gaming computer. Of course not all settings are maxed out, but it is running at 1080p.

I’ve built 6 so far, kept two for personal use, sold two and gave two away to a local foster care charity. I plan to build 6 every couple of months and give away a third of them. I mark them up to just under $300 when I sell them, so this will allow me to slowly outfit local schools / after school care centers / children’s charities with low budget gaming computers for the kids! Reception has been very positive so far, I am very upfront about what the computers are capable of and how they just look like basic office computers.

The $300 price tag still lets budget gamers get their hands on what is probably the cheapest prebuilt gaming machine available, and covers my costs for donating them. And again, this is all local, I live in a pretty small town of only about 100,000.
