I have 0 knowledge of what makes computer parts compatible and this is probably WAY too much to ask, but could someone maybe show me a setup that would cost under $350 and run? Feel free to call me out on my stupidity/lazyness.
 
well that budget makes it hard to get anything good, but this is the best i could do and ou'll have to grab the dvd drive out of another computer which you could get a new one but that makes cases out of your budget, which i picked 3 decently rated cases that'll be in your budget and look nice,

linked wrong window and lost link wanted, will try to get back

i would say pick and buy one, then in a few days you'll get an email with cupon cades so you can get more off and mabye better parts or something, depends on what you get, but here are the other parts, which i'd still say to save up for a little while cuz this system is pretty bad, not even worth upgrading really cuz the mobo sucks, only good thing worth keeping is the psu cuz the combo made the price worth it

The power supply is junk and the motherboard is pretty lowend and biostar is a so so brand.

You plan on doing any gaming on this?

well he gave me a lowwwwww budget and that was the only board with a good enough rating that would fit in his budget and idk about the power supply, was rated decent and high wattas with combo savings making it cheapenought to get. my list is still better than that prebuilt.
 
In the $350 range, I would say welcome to Linux, unless all you need is a Motherboard, CPU and Ram.

leaves $90.06 for supplies, DVD drive, shipping and such. I would suggest a freeware OS, Mint and Ubuntu are good ones for a beginner (stay away from Fedora if you dont know what your doing!). Otherwise, $10 more and you got windows too.
