I want to build a computer and the ONLY 2 parts I have are the graphics card and the PSU. The graphics card is an XFX R6670 core edition with 2 gigs of memory and I have a 260 watt PSU. Other than those 2 things, I have completely no clue what i'm doing. I have 600-700 USD and need every other part for my computer. If I have any leftover money after the monitor and such, ill probably upgrade the 2 parts that I do have. Thanks!

this would be the best you can do, the psu and graphics card you have are low end and not worth putting them into this system

Well, that PSU certainly needs an upgrade to atleast a 500 watts one..

you can take a AMD/Intel cpu (FX8350/i5 4670k) with a decent motherboard.. 8gig of RAM (4X2GB) .. pick the least cost one.. won't make much of a difference..

The only part that's going to work for some time for gaming is the 6670... you need a completely new build..

well, if you want to play newer games such as BF3/4, crysis 3, watchdogs etc. the 6670 will run at low-medium settings at 720p OR if you want a little better performance, you can run your 6670 in dual graphics mode with an A-10 apu and get another ~10-15 fps, but it wont be upgradable.
