Looking to build a completely used or REALLY budget PC for my pops.
Doesn't really need anything high end, looking for it to play games, not even at high settings. He's never had a decent pc so I want to try and build one for him.

Possible games: Arma 3, Command and Conquer (any/all of them), older strat games, world of tanks

No need of peripherals
30-60fps is fine
720p is fine

Used preferred. (I'm not familiar with older stuff!)

Max: $350

You could get a smaller ssd to reduce the price a little but this is a pretty solid build for the money. Will easily do everything he wants (more) and at 1080p.

Buy some of it on JET and use the shop15 code for 15% off up to $30.

Base Total: $413.72
Promo Discounts: -$17.49
Mail-in Rebates: -$50.00
Total: $346.23
