$300 budget build. Need help!

[steven37]

Needing parts to build a $300 rig including The OS. Is this possible? It's for a young boy so of course he's going to want to play some games on it, I just need this budget build done and he can work on upgrades and stuff in the future so we need room in there to upgrade.

That is nearly impossible you figure 90 dollars for OS its a 210 dollar system. Especially if you would need keybard mouse and monitor.

Just system no mouse no keyboard none of that other stuff. Well can we do under $400 at all?
