Anyone know how to build a pc from max 200 USD, that can run games (Like PUBG or something) around 30 fps if possible?

Yea. But not wasting my time telling and planning it for you. Go to youtube and find some guides for budget gaming pcs. If you don't know anything about pcs enjoy getting ducked at some point and do your best to unfuck yourself. You can't slap shit together and hope it works.

Not going to happen kids. Everything has a minimum cost, and a gaming computer bottoms out at like $500. Example: Motherboard $70 min, CPU $70 min (for trash), 550w+ PSU $50 min (will die in six months), video cards rn are a laugh, this is the primary cost of your build. BTC mining is to blame for this. Nvidia says they're fixing it with GPU cards with no video output, but we're not there yet.

I didn't even list Ram, thermal paste, a case, keyboard, mouse, monitor, SSD/HDD, or cables.

Use your head, what does $200 get you in other places. PuBG just came to mobile ; the phones that can play it cost $750+. Why would a $200 computer suffice? Fucking kids.

The short answer is that you will need to do a lot of research, but it is possible to get a strong enough processor for a low enough price if you know which suppliers to look at. PC-Part-Picker is too expensive. You may need to do some soldering too some check out >>>/diy/ohm/

you can actually bottom out at 290-440 if you /diy/ the motherboard and everything yourself, and buy and build the whole thing from components by primary suppliers. By skiping the middle man you skip out on high prices, but at the cost of much more time spent making the damn thing.

That part can't happen, it would cost a super-computer to start even a small budget-bitch facotry for that, and then it would cost another million a year to keep the thing running.

You can get some really cheap processors though, just not latest or anything made by fagtel or AMDong because they have a strangle-hold on the industry.
Everything else is really cheap though, i managed to get 4 1Ghz die for 50$

buy a prebuilt pc with an i5 2400 and higher, go on facebook market, let go, offer up, craigslist, ebay, etc. then buy a gpu gtx 660 ti and above would serve you good, like gtx 670 680, 750 ti 760 770 780 780 ti, hd 7850 7870 7950 7970 rx 280x and above. dont go for an i3, monitors they sell cheap on all those markets, some go for 20$ and up. go to the free section of any of those markets and you can probably find a desk or computer chairs for free just pick em up. if not buy some cheap desk. if you want more in depth just ask, i'm free all night

Okay, I'll tell you what I do.
On forehand, THERE IS NO WAY YOU'LL GET A PC THAT CAN RUN THE BLEEDING EDGE GAMES BY ONLY SCAVENGING. THIS IS MORE OF A GENERAL GUIDE ON GETTING MACHINES FOR MORE BASIC FUNCTIONS, WHILE YOU CAN SOMETIMES GET LUCKY AND GET SOME HIGHER GRADE GEAR, YOU USUALLY DON'T SO DON'T GET YOUR HOPES TOO HIGH.
With that out of the way, I'll tell you how I usually do it.
Just ask around for ""old"" computers, I recently had received 5 because it's old.
I mean, it's Vista era. But just slap some Linux on it and it's pretty much enough for my daily needs along with photo editing and art projects.
I've been doing this for about ten years now, gutting PC's and other boxes for their guts and then using what I find to upgrade my box.

Things to look out for:
-TV boxes, they usually contain some nice HDDs and possible PSUs for small projects.
-Broken phones and tablets, it's so fucking easy to replace those screens if they are a bit aged. But the newer ones are tougher.
-Companies who don't need their equipment anymore. Simply ask nicely and you shall receive, but most likely looted for their HDDs, so this is where the guts of those TV boxes come in play.
-Dumb folks who are bad with computers, those usually trash their devices the quickest. Ask them if their computer is slow, if you're going to be sneekibreeki, liquidate their current device and tell then there is nothing you can do about it, reason it with some kind of h@xXxor or simply too old if the device is aged.
The best thing you can do in that case is help them look for a new device and assist them in transferring their data.
-Local dumps. Really. Check that shit out, loot some computers if you are not in direct sight, I am aware it "might" be illegal to snag them of that place, but for fucks sake, ones trash is the other's treasure. Be cautioned if you want to try that, the workers try to keep the place in check.
-Look for defective gear and try to repair it on eBay or so.

This is going to be tough.
Maybe try to grab some used desktop computer for 50$ on craigslist. Wait for a really good one, like a good pentium G or i3/i5 with at least 4/6gigs of RAM. Then buy a 150$ GPU like a 1050ti or a used 970 gtx. go ask /g/pbg and check logical increment website. Good luck senpai. You should look for somethink like pic related.

I hate to be the guy shitting all over an attempt at a budget build (just did a budget Ryzen/GTX build in November for ~700), BUT. . .

The real problem is finding a decent video card at your price point. Even old cards are priced retardedly because of coin miners. Looking at Newegg, and guessing that a vidya will be about a quarter of your build cost ($50) (1/4 is my made up benchmark), there are about 300 cards you can use. They all blow, and I doubt you can find suitable drivers.

TL;DR No. Good luck though, homie.

this summer ill have a budget of about 700-1000$ for building a pc. i have a few cases, but im not sure if ill need a new one or not. my main concern will be how easily ill be able to update it in the future, a few years down the road.
id like to run 3 monitors off of it, one for weather, a wide screen for a band scope for ham radio, and one id use for general browsing and such.
almost everything i have now ive gotten from the dump or yard sales, but i think it would be fun to build something new.
can anyone point me in the right direction?

That's $190 for the main build. For GPU, you can shit out and buy a garbage $10 for a strict "$200" budget build or you can shell out few more and get a semi decent $50 gpu from craigslist/ebay/etc. Or you can shell out big bucks for the latest GPU. In anyway you choose, the CPU/system itself can compete with the best of today's CPU. Ryzen/Intel Kabylake/etc.
