I'm interested in building a gaming PC with a budget of about $300. I have a few preferences: I'd like a case that's white with a transparent side and LED lights. I want 16GB of RAM, either an AMD R5 or an Intel i5 processor, and a 1TB hard drive. I have some parts from an old PC that I can use, but I'm not sure if I need a separate graphics card. Is this realistic?

Building a decent PC for $300 is going to be really challenging, especially if you're aiming for LED lights and a nice case. Honestly, you'll struggle to get the CPU and RAM alone for that price with new parts. You might want to consider used parts to stay within budget, but it’s still going to be tough.

Yeah, I agree! The budget is super tight. You might have to compromise on some features like the case or the specs.
