You said you had an SSD laying around, yes?

 

Switch the power supply to this one. http://pcpartpicker.com/product/V9bp99/evga-power-supply-100b10600kr

 

It's a couple dollars more expensive but it will give your system more stability and will last you more years.

Yeah not sure of the connection though. Is there just a standard SSD connection and my motherboard just doesn't fit or??

If your SSD has two connectors, you'll be able to use it. It uses the same connections as typical hard drives. Which model is it, if I may?

I have no clue whatsoever, its at my dads, 128gb, heres all I know:

It's a standard Sata drive.   It night fit next to the cd room?  There seemed to be a connection etc.  Can show you Tuesday have some bits here.

That's what my dad said.

If it's sata, you will be able to connect it

 

Edit: and since SSDs aren't weak to vibration like hard drives are, you don't have to screw it in, you can just tuck it anywhere. But the case probably has places to screw it in place.

Allright, so the motherboard I have selected will work with it?

Allright, so the entire build would be functional if I got every one of the selected parts (exept hard drive, I used a placeholder)?

Never, my dad should be able to help, he knows a lot about this stuff (well, he did 10 years ago). Theres this place called FreeGeek near where I live, I signed up to go there to learn about building computers and try to build one with spare parts. So I should learn a lot there.

You should show us what the build looks like once you've done it

 

We have a Build Logs forum for just that purpose.

Oh, I didn't forget any parts did I? I hear a lot of things like sound cards and wifi cards and other such things, I wouldn't need those would I, just the parts on that list?

Your motherboard has an integrated sound controller.

 

If you need Wifi, get a PCI Express x1 Wifi Card, something like this. http://pcpartpicker.com/product/tTdqqs/gigabyte-wireless-network-card-gcwb867di

But if you don't need Wifi you'll be fine.

Yes but you can run a cable from the router to the computer

Oh right, forgot lol. So if I don't get a wifi card I just need to hook up a cable? That shouldn't be too bad. Also, if I keep my current hard drive will I have to repurchase the OS? Cuz I don't want to have to spend another 80 dollars on Windows 10.
