The BEST $300 BUDGET Gaming PC Build for 2016. This $300 is the best budget build for the money for smashing games in your steam or origin library, such as those from Valve: CS:GO, and Dota 2. This build is a very capable build at 1080p HD and will happily achieve frame rates as high as 80FPS at high settings at 720p HD resolutions. This build wish smash games such as League of Legends, Need for Speed, Minecraft, World of Warcraft and CS:GO at 1080p Medium to High settings whilst achieving more then respectable frame rates. The CPU in this build (which is also an APU) combines graphics and CPU into one, the AMD A10, 7850K. It is a quad core CPU, allowing compatibility in games such as Battlefield 4, Battlefield Hardline, The Witcher 3, Star Wars: Battlefront and GTA V. Due to the fact the APU also doubles as the graphics card and graphics chip for this build two 4GB dimms of super fast 2133Mhz G.Skill Sniper (2 x 4GB) gives dual channel performance and nice the bandwidth for the APU. The super fast speed benefits the APU massively and is a good substitute for the normal GDDR5, GDDR5X and HBM memory found on dedicated graphics cards. The motherboard, which houses and connects all other components is an FM2_ Hi-Fi board from Biostar and comes in a compact Micro ATX form factor it not only is small enough to fit in a small chassis but also high enough value to be justified within this budget gaming PC build for 2016. The motherboard has all necessary features, including PCI-E 2.0 x8 (allowing room for a graphics card such as an R7 360, R7 370, GTX 950 or GTX 960 later on down the line), USB 3.0 and 2.0 giving both legacy support and super fast transfer speeds and Sata 3, 6Gbit/s to connect the 1TB Seagate Barracuda hard drive (giving double the capacity for the next generation consoles) and allowing you take advantage of super fast SSD speeds later on down the line. All of these components housed in the brand new Corsair Carbide Spec M2 Windowed Micro-ATX Mid Tower case, with USB 3.0. The 430W 80+ power supply from EVGA keeps everything juiced up with power and allows enough wattage for the upgrade of a graphics card later on down the line. The 80+ certification guarantees that this power supply will perform above 80% efficiency at all times, not only saving you money at the wall, but also increasing the longevity and lifespan of the components. This truly is an epic $300 gaming PC build for those on a budget, allowing logical upgrades down the line and showing no significant bottlenecks. This build truly is a console killer.
