Yes, it's possible. My friend managed it, but there might be issues if you add a graphics card since some RX models aren't compatible with this setup... Specifically, the Optiplex 790.
It’s smarter to move up a few generations, aiming for at least Intel 4th generation components. You’ll typically find a Haswell CPU such as an i5 4460 or 4590, and a motherboard is available for around $100-150 on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-i5-4590-A...SwxDBevEmz https://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-motherboar...Sw1j1ex9Z1 All these parts are mostly complete systems; you’ll still need a case, power supply, and hard drive. The i5 4590 includes built-in graphics to get you started, but you’ll need a dedicated video card for smoother performance. Systems with 4GB RAM require more, and 8GB is the usual minimum these days. A budget of $200 is quite tight for a setup that still includes a graphics card… doubling it to $400 sounds more sensible. Cheap options will leave you stuck, especially since newer titles demand more than four cores for consistent performance. Six or eight cores are ideal now, but older models can only handle up to four cores at best.
