gollark: I would recommend something like this (https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/DHTwrH/entry-level-amd-gaming-build) but with the GPU/CPU balance shifted a bit and maybe other cost savings.

gollark: *How* low? It might be worth upgrading a used thing.
gollark: Do you have something in mind already which you want to improve, or what? If not, PCPartPicker has decent build guides.
