Hi, I'm trying to get a new gaming pc but I'm gonna be using some old parts with it..I currently have a gtx 980 Ti FTW, 16 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 Ram @ 1600 MHZ(I think), Sabertooth X58 motherboard, Intel I7 950 @ 3.07 GHZ, a earthwatts 650w antec continuous power-Model EA-650 green Power Supply, 1.36 TB Hard Drive.

I have the monitor, keyboard and mouse, speakers..and I was interested in getting just the tower with a new motherboard, CPU(I wanted the Intel I7 4790k included in the build BTW), new hard drive with at least 2 TB hard drive space, and maybe a new power supply if you think I need a better one...but I was going to keep the GPU and ram and use those in the build...

I have no experience in building pc's by the way..I just know how to install graphics card and ram(more or less)..So if there is a prebuilt model you can recommend, that would be even better...Anything you can recommend for under $700???

Oh and if you could include the build with a windows 10 OS too please.. Basically, if you could include everything in the build that I would need besides the GPU and Ram(and maybe PSU if you think I need it) so that I could just plug and play...And I don't like to overclock by the way..Thanks.

Well I am using my 980 ti with my 650 watt EA-650 green Power Supply and it runs everything really good but has some bottlenecks in some games I think..And I was told it was my old CPU...So my power supply would be enough right or no?

Can i ask why you are going with the i7 4790k when the i7 6700k is the same price or cheap?
and if i were you i would build a PC there are loads of step by step guides online, when i built my first PC
i was so proud of it lol, its great when you build a pc and turn it on for the first time XD.

I'd like that first build you got there but it's out of my price range...The second one looks more fitting but quite a bit over $700...and this doesn't include taxes right? If not, with taxes it would be like an extra $100? Also, the power supply you recommended is also 650W so why do you recommend that one if mine is also 650 Watt?

Well I'm also on a bit of a budget..I would really like to spend no more than $700 max...and the I7 6700k is more expensive too..anything you could recommend for under $700 that's super powerful?

Could I leave out that power supply and it would be ok considering it's also 650 watt like mine?

I think I will do that one thanks...that I7 4790k looks like the best choice for my budget and performance...And I didn't know I should use an SSD for the boot drive......iknowhowtofixit didn't include one in the build...! I currently have my windows installed on my 2 TB hard drive and am not using my 74 GB hard drive! Damn do I lose performance for that? iknowhowtofixit didn't include an SSD in the build...!

when you change your hardware you will need a fresh copy of windows anyway,
you can always get a cheap case for now and upgrade later when he has a little more cash,
i always recommend a SSD i couldn't live without mine lmao.

Do I honestly need the SSD??? What difference does it make if I have an SSD or just depend on the 2 TB hard drive????
