Any cheap good gaming pcs?

[nygofficial]

I'm looking for a good gaming pc that's cheap. I know a few people who have made them before and could help me. Anything 500 or below works. Preferably with over a terabyte storage. It can be over 500 but not 650. Kind of looking to run games like youtubers run for videos. Looking for games such as Just Cause 3, COD series, and more. Thank you for your help.

Welp, do you want new, used, or does it not matter?

Used will be cheaper, at the expense of being used before, which could mean finger prints, dust, and lower life expectancy of components.

Yes, I forgot to mention Open Box (as Newegg calls it at least) is perfect, someone opened it, returned it deciding they didn't like it, then the price goes down.

You need to be careful of prebuilt pc's, they tend to use lower quality parts and often call it a 'gaming' pc with a graphics card that just isn't up to the task. The budget doesn't leave a whole lot of room for a gaming pc, do you need a monitor, operating system, keyboard and mouse? Just the tower? You'd get better performance for the price and better quality components building it yourself.

Something like this would push to the $500 limit and that's going with a lower end case (about as cheap as it gets) and a cpu/gpu with lower to mid range gaming.

Just be aware that you're not likely to hit 60fps in a number of games at this budget, definitely not on high/ultra settings. A gaming pc in that performance you're looking at more like $700-800. This also doesn't include windows which is usually $80-100 if you need an os. If that's the case on this tight of a budget it would be worth saving up a bit more for a proper gaming pc or if you can't wait consider a console like a ps4/xbone.

If you have an existing PC, don't worry about buying Windows 10, I can tell you how to get a full working copy, that includes personalization and everything for totally free
