So is it possible to buy or create/buy a pc for around 100$ or around that, im looking for something with more that 8 ram and can play some modern games, not all but some, and i dont mean like AAA games, also ive really been wanting to try stable diffusion just to see what it can do.

is it possible to get a modern or descent pc for around 100$, also im a highschooler and ive been saving my money my whole life i got around 200$ but im cheap and i would like to have some leftover incase anything happens. i dont have a job but im been saving from b-days holidays and the coins i found on the sidewalks, should i try to save up more?

Might be different where you live, here with used parts you could get a Ryzen 1700, mainboard, 16 GB RAM, and a RX 570 for about $170. Decent for somewhat recent games, decent upgradeability. You're still missing case, PSU and storage (new SSDs are really cheap though), and peripherals like monitor, keyboard and mouse, if you still need those as well. You can get a cheaper system on older platforms, but then you'll have to replace the whole CPU/mainboard/RAM combo to upgrade.
