What do you already have as far as parts?
If you have some stuff, like a hard drive, optical drive, case, keyboard, mouse, whatever from an older computer, you can reuse them.
A CPU, motherboard, RAM, and probably power supply most likely cannot be reused due to be outdated.

with only $250-350 you could build a system that would run most of the new games, but don't expect to be playing on anything above low settings....also as trotter said, what do you have already? are you wanting a full build? or just an upgrade?
