I want a cheap PC build but I don't know anything about anything

[zaelstorm24]

Yeah my budget is $440(AU) and I don't know what I can get for that price. I am a gAmER so I want a PC that can comfortably run almost all games at low/medium settings.

I already have a monitor, mouse, keyboard headset and case, so it's just a matter of being able to afford the other things.

Any full builds that'll work?

Looks like you will need to buy a used system and then add a PSU and GPU. Maybe a 2nd-gen i5 Dell or HP business system.

Here's the cheapest build I could come up with.

I second the used system or business class HP/Dell that you could drop a decent GPU into.

I agree with the above, with that budget, you are going to have to do some digging and look for good prices on used parts.

I hate to say it as a PC lover but this is a tech hardware forum, not just PC's. You said your a gamer and anyone with a budget below AUD$500 should really be looking at a console mate unless the PC is a necessity (word processing, excel, school e.t.c)
Unless there is something in particular you really need from a PC that you can't get as a console gamer then either save up more or go to console gaming bud, the Xbox One X is on par with a GTX 1060 PC and has games optimised to its systems.... JB Hi Fi just had a sale for $499 for RDR 2, Forza Horizons 4 and Forza 7, beleive that has sold out but someone is doing the same for $539 this week if that helps (EB Games or The Gamesmen i think).

Hope that helped but if your insistent on getting a PC then used market on Gumtree is probably your best bet bud but you want to test anything you buy before you hand over the cash. Otherwise Ebay...
