It kind of depends on how many components you have in place already, or if this is a completely new build. If you have a case, optical drive, display, power supply etc already, then you just might be able to get away with $300 on a new mobo, CPU, RAM and HD. If you're talking a whole new rig, then saving up a bit more will indeed be necessary.

MB - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813138332 $50
CPU - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116397 $88 HDD - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136108 $60 - these mechanical drives are going to throw a wrench into your budget right now, this one is the absolute cheapest piece of junk I could find that conforms to serial ata. Case - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811154109 $20 Memory - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231308 $35 (went big cuz I think we have a surplus in the budget - this is 8GB) PSU - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817170010 $19 That's all you need for the base of a computer - total is $272 If u want win 7 - probably looking at another $80 for home version, then allow about $20-40 on top of that for keyboard/mouse/headset/speakers (if needed) and allow another $50-100 for monitor (if needed) That harddrive is hit or miss on using as boot device imo, but was cheapest I could find. core components sub $300, mission accomplished. there's ways to get cheap windows. | ||

Thank you Gwence
Thank you for going through all of the time to put that together Gwence. I really didn't mean for anyone to go through this much trouble, I was just wondering how far off am I in thinking I could get something like this around $300 or so.
I have a few old computers in a shed. What parts could I salvage from an old computer that would not be severely outdated? Like, for example, do cases or power supplies get outdated, or could I use one that is approximately 15 years old? I guess things like serial ports in the case would be pretty out dated, but I generally am wondering what can be salvaged and what should be replaced. If I were to choose one or two items to upgrade from what you have chosen, what would be most important? The hard drive? Lastly, do I need to install drivers for each hardware component I install into a new computer, and if so are these easily downloaded? Thank you. | ||
