New PC build 2017

Hello, I'm trying to go for a decent build just to game at buttery smooth 60fps and at least 720p for my entire Steam, UPlay, and Origin libraries. My budget will be at least $500 (or more unless a similar card is worth $48 or higher).

A friend of mine who I know on Twitch in a different community sent me an unknown variant NVidia GT 720 video card a few days back, and I just got it in the mail a couple of hours ago today. She told me that it could barely handle certain games like TR 2013 in Low settings on a FB private message couple of days back. Here is what the picture of it looks like below. Plus, I also want to know if this card is compatible with any of the components listed in this URL: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cMtNsJ .

 

If anyone is here to help me out on preparing the build, that would be appreciated. Thanks.

One thing I would change, is I would run 2 x 4 gb sticks of ram in dual channel rather than 1 x 8gb stick.

Yeah, I could've gone with a dual-channel 8GB RAM with two 4GB sticks each. Might be effective that way. Thanks.

You'd probably get better results just running with the onboard graphics than using that card honestly.

Thanks. I might have to use onboard graphics up until I can save up a better card later.

For sure, if the option is there no reason not to use it.

Yeah. I'm better off with just saving that card for very old games.
