Hi first time posting here but I've read a lot of stuff on here to fix my pc a lot and your experts are much more knowledgible than I am so I was hoping to get some strong recommendations.
I want to build a new pc and re-use some of the parts from my old one. I can't re-use my motherboard/cpu for bad hardware reasons - which is why I want to upgrade in the first place. However, I was hoping to re-use as much as I can - specifically the GPU and maybe the SSD if I can. If possible, can I get some recommended parts or build that uses some of my old pc specs? I'm a bit of a newbie at building computers so any help is beneficial to me.
Old PC specs:
SSD: ADATA Premier SP550 480GB 2.5 Inch SATA III
Graphics: MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950
no OS
I want to make it primarily for games, but I'm not the most intense gamer. I'm more of a casual gamer and the highest graphically intensive thing I imagine I'll be playing in the future will be Overwatch-tier if not lower.
I can afford to spend anything below $1000 but would prefer it to be lower and around ~$500-700 if it can be helped and I can use the GPU above so I don't have to buy a new one.
If you have any questions I can answer them but if they require knowing something about the hardware I may need instructions on how to find that information if it is not very common knowledge.
Thank you!
