Hello everybody, I've begun my first full attempt into building my own Pc, and I would like it if you guys could help me out.

I already have a tower, which I think is good enough for my new build, but here are a couple pics. http://s376.photobucket.com/albums/oo207/specter02147/

I also already have a PSU, a Corsair VX550W, which I heard is good enough for my power demands.

I also dont need a Keyboard, moniter, mouse or speakers right away.

I'm looking to spend about 500 to 600 dollars at the most, and I'm going to mainly use this pc for Gaming. Could you guys suggest me everything else I would need to get this up and running?

Sorry about that, I have some very old parts in the tower right now, but they cant handle much of anything.

Smc, that looks great, that should run any game around just fine.

If he already had a computer then he should already have an OS, right?

Not necessarily. If it is a pre-built, chances are the computer would not have the Windows disk with it. And considering the old age of the PC that the TC is implying, chances are it will have Windows XP, which would not be able to run DX10 nor DX11 games.

I have an XP disc laying around somewhere. So I guess I should upgrade from XP?
