A good gaming desktop around $300?

[paulcall]

I want recommendations on a good gaming desktop around $300 that can run most modern games fast. (Oblivion on high settings or Left 4 Dead 2 on high settings would be nice)

What do you think about this too?

Graphics: Integrated NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE

I don't think you could run Left 4 Dead 2 on integrated graphics.

For $300? You won't get stuff

With a $300 budget, you're not going to be able to make a gaming PC.

integrated and gaming dont come hand in hand.
its possible to build a very low end comp that can play orange box era games.
but really it's lifetime with modern games is already over.

I second this, i have a 300$ laptop and i can barely run everquest 2 on minimum.

You will not build something worth gaming on for $300

I don't think you could run Left 4 Dead 2 on integrated graphics.

It's possible to run it on a 6150/6200, I have before, but it lacks Shader Model 2.0, so everything is super bright. As well as the ~20fps on low detail, lol.

I used to have a computer with a geforce 6150SE

I could do a lot of things with it, i dont know what you guys are talking about.

I could run GMod, Half life, i could run a lot of games, but not on the best quality.

Not as impossible as it sounds.

$175 and it'll run modern games handily.  

Acquire case, power supply, optical drive, keyboard, mouse, monitor, hard drive, and operating system from current computer or dumpster.

That's what we are talking about. GMod runs on a 2004 engine. Half life is earlier. Old games, not even on max detail.

It ran L4D 1 and the demo of L4D 2 pretty well.

Your processor alone will cost over $100.
And a decent graphics card about $100
Leaving $100 or less, not enough for a motherboard, RAM, or a HDD.

I would save up.

If you plan on spending money later, I'd say spend most of that money on a computer with a good CPU and amount of RAM and wimp out on the graphics card, then come back to it later with more money.
