Cant go above the $350 mark

Do you need a copy of Windows?

What are your expectations of this build? What games are you trying to play and at what settings?

Any parts we can salvage from an older machine?

i dont need windows and i cant salvage anything

I would go with the build I listed then. It's $10 over, but you can't really cut from it anywhere. Going less on anything would mean it really isn't worth buying at all.

You could take out the optical drive and install windows from a flash drive.
