I'm very smart and know how to put it all together, but I don't know where to get the best parts (as i've never built my own, just dismantled and put back together old comps)

Looking to spend 400-500 on the tower, I can find the monitor myself

going for mainly stability/light gaming

my uncle just gave me this

asrock 970 extreme 4 mobo

500gb hd

2x4gb ram sticks

sapphire hd 7950 3gb

so i need to accompany this with a case/power supply

Did he give you a processor?

I think there's a processor underneath the cpu fan, that's what I need to ask him but I gatta wait until he comes back upstairs

Almost what I came up with, minus the case (swapped)

What is the processor? It's possible you may want to invest in something better.

He was using it to farm bitcoins, so I'm sure it's pretty good, but I have no idea

he said amd
