alll in all not inclusing tax and shipping 980 which is over my budget of wanting to spend 800 so anywhere i can scrimp and save i would take parts from this current machine but i kinda want a back up cause shits always going wrong

G.SKILL TridentX Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-2133C9D-16GTX-Newegg.com

The memory you chose was DDR4. That motherboard is DDR3.

If I salvage the cpu vid card and drives should knock off like 400 till later upgrade I would need a new cpu cooler though still need to find a psu seems they are all top mounted on newegg and someone to put it together for me guess I don't know all this time without a computer is gonna fucking suck its all I got I got no tv service or anything to do when I'm home

I think you are fine with psu fan on "top" (though I think it could also be bottom... Case is vented at the top. So it would be either sucking air in from the top and venting out the back or vice versa.

Just the way it seem the psu would blow hot air into vid cards but if I go with the choice of case I picked it can be mounted on top .....though ordering parts over my phone is another story

I thought all psu exhaust air out of the case?

BL

not if its meant for a top mounted in the bottom ? its directly under my video card fans

so this is still a good cpu not to go extinct anytime soon ?

Intel Core i5-4670 Haswell Quad-Core 3.4 GHz LGA 1150 84W BX80646I54670 Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics-Newegg.com

and i dunno bout the other items i dont know if ATX refers to the case type ? or what

it's a 3 year old chip. The skylake stuff is the newest.

Intel Core i5-6600K 6M Skylake Quad-Core 3.5 GHz LGA 1151 91W BX80662I56600K Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 530 - Newegg.com

Which makes the memory you first posted valid... and your motherboard invalid. In requires a socket 1151 motherboard.

3 years is usually the replacement mark for tech isn't it ? The point it becomes out dated I don't need the newest and greatest just something that will run games well for a couple years
