Build Help/Ready:

Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

Yes

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

I want to be able to use this build to play newish games on moderate settings. I also have a 360 so if it looks that good or better graphics wise that would be great. Perhaps occasional school work and photo editing.

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, FPS, game settings)

My screen is a 1080p LG panel I would like games to run above ~40fps at high or medium settings.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

about $300

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

USA

Parts I already have (and would like to use):

i3-2120 @3.30gHz

4.00 GB of ram (don't know what kind or speed but I can figure that out if I need more)

250 GB HDD w/windows 10 installed (probably want to add more storage but not a huge concern)

Things to add:

I think thats everything I need.

All of the parts which I already have come from a HP Compaq 6200 Pro SFF PC also know as the shitbox. It has a low profile case which maybe I could use and a power supply of about 220W. Maybe the motherboard is useable? I don't really know.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!
