I'd continue saving until I could get something at least decent

[Willco2]

Prebuilt or have to build?
Because if it's prebuilt, there's not really any modern ones for $300

[ichiioma]

Any.

some old think pad or something

For 300 you're really not going to get much more than an internet browser/microsoft office machine
So I'd just go with a android or microsoft tablet which are even cheaper than 300

[ichiioma]

What about $1000?

[Kumquat]

are you trying to secretly ask for what to get?

This is my PC right now

[Willco2]

That's nearly 2k lol

[Headcrab Zombie]

1000 now?

This is my current build
The video card isn't available so it has no cost added

[#Ravencroft]

My computer already costs a lot more than that and I could buy another now if I wanted to.

That's your current build and you chose to do air cooling.


You should of gone water cooling.
I started with a $300 Build, but so far I have invested at least more than $1000 in stuff I have upgraded over the years.

I started with something mid range and then made my way up to more powerful parts.
