Is there a PC I could get that is less than $200 that can handle light gaming? I want to play Sonic Mania and some emulators. I wouldn't mind playing Minecraft on it either, but I can deal without that. Thanks!

You could probably get it custom made. Research your specs for Minecraft and Sonic Mania and use that as a guide. I hear Steam has an Operating System now.

Under $200 is pushing it for new parts in a desktop. You might want to check ebay for windows tablets and laptops with a 1.9ghz cpu.

I strongly recommend checking out Craig's List. I've seen tons of pre-owned desktop PCs and laptops with good specs selling for usually around $50-75, sometimes less. Any of these computers could probably handle emulators & Sonic Mania. If you do ultimately decide to buy one off Craig's List and it turns out it has viruses, I would buy a new hard drive for it and simply install it. Having a professional wipe it clean of viruses would be a waste of money when you could just buy a new hard drive for less.
Please give us an update on your computer situation. I'd love to hear how it turns out.
