[inmetalxwetrust]

Hello, as stated ive never built a computer before but im looking for a inexpensive way to have a decent computer.

My main uses for it will be just surfing the web and running Guild Wars 2.

I would love to keep the the price around 300$. just not sure if thats enough cash to fill my needs.

Ive looked at barbone kits and they seem like they are a pretty good deal, so there has to be some sort of catch. would any of these be good??

If you want the best for your money and have no particular urge to build it yourself you best get is a second hand PC from eBay. $300 dollars isn't going to get you much brand new.
