Source games PC

[Alexdiaz]

I want a cheap PC that will be able to play source games very well. I want to be able to play Minecraft, Skyrim, War Thunder, and Arma 2 as well. I'm fine playing games at 720p and low/med settings. I want to spend at most $250 if parts are new and $200 if parts are off of eBay. I know that with this budget the PC won't last very long. I know that I can upgrade parts in the future. If possible please tell me if the PC will be able to play GTA V when it comes out later this year.
