Newbie trying to make decent gaming pc

Xenomorpheus87 · Jun 5, 2015

Hello I'm new here and wanted to get extra input on what I should get, I'm not very knowledgeable in computer parts at all I am an extreme newb and have been playing on a toaster. My friend gave me a GTX 560 TI and hes also giving me a 850w psu. I'm looking for a mobo and processor for around $300-$350 price range and also a relatively cheap ssd, I'm pretty lost so any help would be appreciated.

You can get a good cooler with the rest. BTW this build is not made to overclock if you want to overclock go with this build:

The 560Ti is going to be around the same speed as the 750Ti 1GB. So it can be used for basic gaming, but don't expect high FPS at high settings on the more power hungry games.

The 560Ti will basically crap out in most games. If you can spend more money for a graphics card, i'd recomend a GTX 960 or 970
