Ultra cheap gaming computer?

[skylord_]

I am wondering what the cheapest gaming computer I could build would be. Minutes the operating system and other peripherals would be best.

I would just be playing lighter games on out bothering too advanced the games would like Sims 3 age of empires 3 etc.

I could use some really old hard drives but the biggest one is like 200 GB Sata drive.

Thanks in advance!

Sort of but this one would be for a different purpose.
I just wanted to see what I could get from both. Just to see what people would recommend for a different use

Depends on if you want all new parts of if you don't mind using some used items like a CPU.

That is a nice Motherboard for FM2 a good start to move on to a A8, A10 APU or Athlon X4 750 and discrete card later on. For Light to Moderate Gaming APU's really work well for the price.
