Looking for the best bang for buck I can get.

Want fastest processor I can get. Can add better periferals later.

Want used only, new stuff is too expensive.

No need mouse, KB, speakers or os

try to find a Phenom II x4 or x6 and Hd 7850 video card ... but for this build, you need a more than a decent power supply~ minimum 500 Watts ... and yes, no sh.t brands... something good, example: Sirtec, Corsair etc...

Really depends on what you need it for and budget.

But probably
2nd or 3rd gen i5/i7 K model with a gtx 780 or 960-970

I just got a free dell vostro 260s. It has an i3 2120 I think. Has no ram and on board graphics only.

Worth using for now? I'm on tablet only ATM.

Any suggesting on ram and video card? This will be a temp machine, so want to spend as little on it I can.


Edit: board has 2 ram slots, ddr3 dimm 240 pin. Supports 8gb max.

Slim tower with 1 expansion slot for VC.
