Hey penz... If you need a barebones PC, or some parts, I'd be happy to help you out. I don't think I have any spare GPU cards worth a crap. But I've got lots of other parts to help you put together a decent gaming PC. Let me know, I'll get you gaming at some level at least.

Sounds good. I have a bunch of old computers. I am looking to get something in the 600 dollar range for gaming at the first of the year with my tax returns or other money. I am just trying to keep my spirits up while I am working through this year. I have installed ram grafix cards and such. Nothing like a mother board though.

I saw one computer on craigslist that felt like a good deal to me I will have to post it if I can find it.

I didn't see your RAM listed there. Do you know how much RAM you have?

Without seeing much more you could probably update your processor dirt cheap to something like an intel pentium 4. Here is a used one on Ebay for $9 https://www.ebay.com/i/191689165644?chn=ps&dispItem=1. Someone on here probably has one lying around. I think I used to but got rid of bunch of my parts recently.

Update your RAM to get it up to 8GB for probably around $25 bucks. Then buy a cheap card. You wouldn't have a to bad of machine for around $50. If someone has some parts for you around here you could get by a lot cheaper. Fish said he has some parts so maybe he has some he could give you. I will look when I get home but I am thinking I got rid of most of everything I had.

I was just going to see if there was a decent used card on craigslist in your area.

I am also going to check with a couple of friends for some of the other parts. I might be even able to dig something up here at work.
