Pulled out an unfinished desktop I was building with my mom a few years ago and I'm curious if I could still turn it into a decent 1080p gaming tower with just a graphics card and if so what kind would be best to look at?

Right now its got:

MSI - 760GM-P34(FX) Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard

AMD - FX-6300 3.5 GHz 6-Core Processor

FSP Group - 300 W 80+ Certified SFX Power Supply

Kingston - HyperX Fury Red 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

Seagate 1TB Hard Drive

A 960 would be a good card

JUST BE SURE TO GET A NEW PSU

i7 6700k, GTX 1080, Crucial MX 300, Maximus VII Hero, WD Blue, 16 GB RAM

Get a Radeon 580 and upgrade the power supply to at least 400W.
