Hello, I want to build a decent gaming computer for around $500. Are these parts good for a gaming computer? I would like to play some modern games, use as an emulator, video player, etc. I also had an old laptop which I took apart, could I use any of those parts? The hard drive is a samsung HM250HI, which has 250GB and runs at 5200rpm and has windows 7 on it. Could i use this as the hard drive or would it act as a bottleneck?
Here are the parts I am considering :
