It could be done, it'd just be a piece of sh*t.

Yeah $300 would be tough to get a those parts for any good gaming.
Although I would check out eBay. You can always get lucky and score some pretty nice parts at a low price depending on who's bidding. I've gotten some pretty sweet deals that way, but luck plays a big part in it.
