First, this is my first post here, so Hello everyone. So, I am trying to build a gaming PC to run BF4/Titanfall on high, and do some minor VBA programming and some other minor productivity tasks. I have a hand me down that I am hoping will bring down cost some. However, I'm going to need your help to steer me in the right direction here. Just to put some things in perspective, my last build was a P2 500 (MMX Baby!) with a Diamond Viper 32MB G770, among other ancient relics of the PC World. I need everything, including OS, so I need to make sure I'm not getting pieces I don't need.
Hand Me Down Components that should carry Over:
PSU: Antec EA-650
Case: Silverstone Steel Lascala Series SST-LC13B-E - I believe there could be some clearance issues with this case.
Optical Drive - Plextor Drive - as long as it reads and writes, I don't care
HDD: Samsung 500GB - Unsure of model number. ( May be replaced.)
Pieces to buy: (need help picking a decent MOBO, cooler, and 8GB RAM)
