Hello,
I do not have much experience in computers, but I do know a little bit. I am hoping to build a decent enough PC with the money I have (300$). I plan to use my already existing processor (Intel Core i3-2120 CPU @ 3.30 GHz), my Nvidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti by EVGA, and my harddrive. I was planning on buying an all new case, motherboard, power supply, and RAM. Could you please recommend some of these things? Again, my budget is 300$ but I could possibly go to 400$. I imagine spending 150$ on my motherboard, I found this one ( http://goo.gl/nBPsJ ), and I found this case + PSU I could get for a steal ( http://goo.gl/SR8WD ), for about 70$, and then some 8GB RAM for roughly 70$ as well. All in all, about 290$.
Thoughts? Would these parts all go together well for gaming?
EDIT: Please ask any questions you may have, if you need to know more about my current specs, I will try to answer the best I can with my limited knowledge
