'But' is a conjunction; it is used to link two sentences together. It can still be used at the start of a sentence, however. Here is an example:

'He greatly desired a copy of a recently released video game. But, he could not afford it.'

More commonly though, 'but' is used to make two sentences into one, forming a compound or compound-complex sentence. For example:

'He greatly desired a copy of a recently released video game, but he could not afford it.'
