So i recently got myself a new EVGA gtx 750ti FTW, I have been needing a new card for a while, but did not realise how old some of my other components are. Anyhow I would like some help in selecting components for a pc build i am planning of doing. It has to work around my new card and I will be salvaging some parts from my old pc. The parts i will be salvaging are as followed: 64GB Samsung SSD, Seagate 1TB HDD, Optical Drive, Cooler master CPU cooler and MAYBE my zalman case. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated and feel free to go abit above/below budget. I would like to also add future proofing should also come into mind. Thanks -JTiGER

i5 would be fine. Extra CPU power never hurts. You select your GPU model by comparing your monitor's resolution and refresh rate to the games that you will play. A 750Ti should be plenty to play just about anything at 1080p on medium with low AA/AF.

I would move up to a good 400W PSU in that instance.
See if you can get something equivalent to this where you are:

The i3 and 750ti are so efficient that they can run on a good 300W PSU.

Do you think I should maybe go for a i5 and a slightly higher psu? Or will there be a big bottleneck?
