I don't think that's enough money to get into gaming,but it depends what games, like minecraft may work on minimal settings. Careful with buying power supplies not from repeatable brands, they could say 250W on the PSU but there's no guarantee that it will output that.

You'll need $400-500 for a full cheap build.

As theyeti87 says, when i built my first 'gaming' pc in 2014 i paid about £380ish for an AMD APU system, which in my opinion is a very cheap way of getting into the gaming world on a budget. Anything less than that wont do the job.

he just wants to play some indie games and some low power games like cs:go gmod and tf 2

also i have a 300$ pc and it will kick some but for lack of a better word

Looks like the GPU isnt going to cut it

 

[Owen_27]

how about a gts 250 its like 20$ and is way better

 

[Owen_27]

or a hd6350

WTB my old GTX660?

For such a low budget could you maybe look at something like this with that gts 250 of $20 you talk about,

it has a 475watt psu with a 6 pin pcie adapter so it should provide enough power,but it is pretty old so can't be sure if it still does.
Ram is also "only" 4gb so not alot but should probably do for what this pc is for.

Doesn't leave alot for games i know ...
