My motherboard finally stopped working after nearly a decade of service. And with it - a whole lot of decade old parts need to go.

Here’s what I’ve got so far, and some notes.

Getting the motherboard/CPU/RAM combo from the microcenter bundle which seems like a fair, upgradable budget deal to me.

Going to keep using that already purchased sata SSD, I only bought it a few months back as a hard drive replacement, since my old motherboard didn’t have anything other than sata slots. I’ll eventually get something proper, though. The case, I’d just like something quiet as I can get and it seems a plenty good option.

So all I need to deal with is a power supply and GPU. For power supply, I already own an old 750W budget rosewill psu, and even if that’s an alright wattage, I imagine it being some 7 or 8 years old wouldn’t be kind on the rest of the computer for long. I need help choosing a new one that isn’t TOO expensive, but would be able to handle some better parts later on down the line.

As for GPU, my current PC has an old ass GTX960. I plan on using that with this build for a few months even if the bottleneck will be comical just because I don’t want to drop a few more hundred dollars on a new GPU juuust yet. But if there are any solid suggestions for when I do replace it, please do help. This is for gaming and most of the things I play are more cpu intensive anyways.

Also, is the cpu fan reasonable for the cpu or should I drop an extra $20 on something a little nicer or with more longevity?

For now the budget is somewhere in the $800 range, but I’d like to keep it lower if possible so spare budget can be put toward the GPU in a few months.

Thanks!
