Not everybody has thousands of dollars to spend on a high-end gaming computer. As of right now, if you want to buil a new gaming PC, your best bet is to check the used market for a video card, or you can look at a pre-built gaming PC (see our recommendation below) instead of building your own system. Note: Due to extreme hardware shortages caused by the pandemic, it is currently very difficult to find new graphics cards (and other hardware) at reasonable prices. Or, you can check out more builds on our Best Cheap Gaming PC Builds guide. So, if you’re looking for a budget-friendly $300 gaming PC, keep reading to see how you can build one that will exceed your expectations. And, this build will not only deliver solid performance now, but it is also set up so that it can easily be upgraded in the future to a system that will be able to max out games on a budget 1080P monitor. That’s not too bad for that low of a budget. However, for $300 you can put together a system that is capable of running most modern games on lower (and, for some games, medium) settings.

What if I told you that, for $300 you could build a decent entry-level gaming computer for 1080P gaming? No, it won’t be a high-end RTX 3090 desktop that can max out today’s top games. Strapped for cash, but need an entry-level gaming PC to run games like Apex Legends, Fortnite, & Rocket League? Then, this $300 gaming PC build will do the trick for you.
