In need of gaming pic

[potato gaming]

Hello to all the kind people who are reading this .I have been searching for a gaming desktop build for a while after I sold my console . I wanted this pc to be under 300$ and to be able to render videos and play games like gmod bo1 mine craft and csgo.
I have two builds in mind if you can like combind both to give me a really good pc under 300$ that would be great or tell me if they would be able to play those games separately .

under $300, extremely unlikely.
It might "play" the games, but not very well.
To render videos you're looking at $800~
To play games well you're looking at $550~
If you're only interested in the absolute bare minimum you're looking at $420
