So i already bought an FX 6300 and accompanying motherboard, the budget is 300$, that costed roughyl 150$. I need a shitty PC that has a good case to install these components, but all it needs is power supply hard drive and case. Where can i find such stripped or barebones PC's. preferably used so they're cheap af.
You did this backwards. You get a decent prebuilt for 150 without a gpu, and just add a gpu. Youre basically wasting money now getting a pre built just to ditch the mobo and cpu.
Now that youre already down this path, save up another hundred bucks, and just build the rest out ( IMO )

well and likely the psu, 95% of prebuilts either have a shitty psu with it or one that does actually have a 6 pin and decent wattage but the amperage is a little sketchy
i bought a thinkcenter with a p4 and all that, replaced the internal components
including the original cost of the computer, chinkshit psu, 8gb hyperx blue, 80gb hdd, pentium g, motherboard and gt430 im down about 200$
buy an old optiplex or something for dirt cheap, replace psu with chinkshit psu, toss in components, tada, gaming computer

Nothing wrong with a prebuilt. Old dells with i7's from liquidating offices go from $100-$200, add a decent gpu like a 780 or r9 290 and thats a $300 pc that performs well at 1080p

Have mom and dad increase your allowance or do more chores and buy better parts.
