Building my second PC with tight budget

[Basith25]

Hi all experts out there, i wanna build a new pc with all components are build by AMD, can u guys suggest me the components that is should buy below $350, thanks, sorry for my broken english im from malaysia

for 350 dollars you might as well buy an xbox, 350 dollars will not get you a satisfying gaming experience with a pc. You would be wasting money on cheap parts. Save up your money and wait till you can afford better parts.

If you arent gaming very hard you could get something like an APU and less powerful parts. Like:http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2526583/wts-amd-3400-msi-a75ma-g55-seagate-barracuda-500gb.html#xtor=EPR-8813

Hi Basith,

Do you need an operating system or any peripherals included in that budget, or is $350 for just the box?

yes this items are so good, but how about $350 budget excluded psu and HDD as im going to use them from my old pc, my current psu is coolermaster 475W and 1TB HDD so i think the $350 will be spent on other important components such as CPU and MOBO (i'll be using my old case of course)

I strongly recommend replacing the Coolermaster PSU. You've only given us the make, not the model, but none of the manufacturers that actually make the Cooler master units are much good (Enhance, Acbel, HiPro, etc).

Here's my revised suggestion. bumped the CPU back to a 4160 and the video card to a 250 ( a large jump over the 240):
