    Helping a family member to get a PC to game with me. We are looking for prebuilt computers that we can stuff a GTX 750 TI in or one that we can build. Any suggestions would be great. Budget is 200$.

    Do you not see that a family member is buying this? I'm just looking for parts to help them.

    Instead of asking for he/she to get a job, how about you answer this post with actual answers instead of trying to be a smartass.

    i love you inertia

    that is the actual answer you dingus, 200 dollars is nothing and might get you a gaming pc that can play gta:SA, but not much else.

    What Dell optiplex will allow a GTX 750 TI to fit inside and how much power will it use including the GTX 750 TI.

    or I can build it with the family member.

    i think this would work: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/s6H4WX

    jokes aside, it wont work, a g620 pc with low cost parts that wont blow up cost just 200 dollars, and its using intel hd graphics

    You can get a budget gaming pc for 200 dollars Canadian if you buy all of the components used.

    Buy a used prebuilt off of Ebay with a 2nd or 3rd gen i5 for cheap as possible with like 8GB of RAM and make sure it can take a normal sized PSU. If it doesn't have Windows just install Windows 10 without activating. Buy a new Evga W1 for like ~$30 and then throw in the GPU. This is THE best you are going to get.

    1. look on ebay and type "intel core i3 computer"
    2. look what i found
    right click the image and press open in new tab to see the ebay listing
    FAST DESKTOP COMPUTER TOWER PC INTEL CORE i3 530 @ 2.93GHz WINDOWS 10 8GB DDR3
    CORE i3 ✔ 1TB HDD ✔ WIFI ✔ 8GB RAM ✔ WINDOWS 10✔
    it costs £209
    3. buy a graphics card. either a £20 brick, or a £100 decent card like the rx 460 or gtx 750ti. and that will take you only 100 pounds over budget#
    4. if you say "but i dont have any monitors keyboards or mice" they cost literally less than £30 for the lot. or even plug your tv into it. also dell monitors are quite good too. bought both of mine off ebay for £40 and they work fine

    You will get more for the money if you buy used and build it yourself.

    You'll be better off buying used parts and good luck with shipping for a prebuild on Ebay.

    Yeah just get an i5 dell or something from goodwill or craigslist etc.

    You arent getting a new PC that isnt total trash for $200. You can get older computers with an i5-2500 or above for like $100 and those will far outpace any new Intel Pentium or AMD whatever based computer for $200 all in.
