Cheapest working parts for PC upgrade?

[maddnotez]

Hello I am trying to see if I can afford to upgrade my PC to play a game.

The specs aren't out yet for the one game I want to play but it is being made in Unreal 4 by an indie studio and is expected to be bare bones.

It is called H-Hour World's Elite. Made by SOF studios who is a very small indie studio.

I have been asking and researching and have came to the conclution that my computer is old and deserves to be thrown in the trash. However I can't afford to do that.

I was told I need a new everything. GPU, CPU, PSU, MOBO, ect.

I hoped to just buy a 750ti and maybe a new PSU and call it a day but I am told that is not possible.

Keep in mind I do not care about playing other games right now and just looking for something to get me by and to test out this one specific game.

If I like the game then I will look into a real build.

So what are the cheapest parts that can play your mid range basic games?

Please help.

I am looking to buy used and as cheaply as possible. Will play in worst settings, I do not care about graphics, frame rate, ect. Just want to be able to play the game.
