Hi everybody,

I'm planning to build up a basic level gaming computer to play basically only games like new FIFAs or NBA2ks, but I would like the computer to run them easily and with good resolution.

My pc screen is no more than 1650x1080 resolution and that's enough for me, and I already have a Palit GeForce GTX 750 ti as GPU.
At the moment my CPU is a Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 2.40GHz and I have 4GB of RAM DDR2. The motherboard is a ASUS P5KPL-VM.

What do you think I need to improve, to build around that screen and GPU a decent gaming pc?
Thanks a lot for your help!!

Those are not very demanding games, you could go away with a 560, maybe 570 when the pricing go back to normal for 570 (bellow 200$)

Depends on where you can buy parts but in general something like this. It would be reusing your case and video card.
