Looking to build a machine for around $300-$350 total including shipping and tax's (im from canada)

[Alex_Wolf]

The games that I play currently are Hereos of Newerth, Eve Online, GTA SA, various titles from the year 2006 to around 2011. As money is a bit tight currently I can't go out and spend $1,000 as such I was woundering if anyone can help me with building a pc that can run those titles.

The machine I was using was a dell inspiron 560s that I got a few years back. It had as I recall around 2.2 ghz processor and a psy invidia geforce 430 I think and it could run everything fine. The only parts im keeping from that system would be the opital drive as everything else isn't really worth keeping. If anyone can help me out with this I would appreciate it.

300 - 350 isn't really a lot to spend on a computer. You may want to keep more from your old system, and just replace some parts. Keep the case and you save 50 dollars. Save the mobo, you save another 50. Just try and replace whichever parts you don't like in your old computer. Unless it's incredibly old. Then I would suggest either upping your budget, or buying a secondhand pc.

Hey there, this is what I could extract from the silicon world for a tight budget like you have. The cpu and the gpu is the best you can get for this price and both are Tom's Hardware approved.
I believe it cant get any cheaper than this.

good luck.
