Do you need to buy OS: No

More CPU based than GPU based given your intended uses...

Thank you sadams04! An update though, I found a computer with some spare parts I forgot about, not sure if I can reuse any of it:

4GB XPG DDR3 1600 x2
Thermaltake TR2 500W psu
MSI A55M-E33 Motherboard
AMD CPU / A8-6600K BLACK EDITION / 3.9GHZ - 4.2GHZ / AD660KW0A44HL / SOCKET FM2

Thermaltake mini tower case

Should I reuse any of this and add better components?

Thank you very much!
