Build a gaming PC for $450 or $4,200
The Nvidia site has a recent blog post suggesting parts for a $450 gaming pc.
They are not selling the parts (well except for the video card) but are just quoting current average prices
for parts available elsewhere.

They didn't include a cost for the operating system. Well Linux is free, or maybe you have a retail copy of Windows to transfer.
The Intel Pentium G3258 @ 3.20GHz cpu has a Passmark benchmark of 4003.
