Core 2 Quad Build

[LucasDerpYT]

So i need a personal computer to myself that is a good build and i have $200 for it. I have decided that i will have ATLEAST  a 750 ti , a core 2 quad q9650 and 8gb of ram, but will the Core 2 Quad support the 1050ti 4 gb? I know the mobo i am looking at supports DDR3, so will the cpu? and also if you can find a ddr3 board that supports 16gb ram and s775 with a backplate for under$40? Also is there any way I can get GPU, and CPU watercooling for under $50? Yea, i know Watercooling might be abit advanced for my first from scratch build, but i have confidence

If you are not on a big budget look at a Pentium G4560 or wait for a low-end Ryzen.

OK that's pretty good.

if you can find a good mobo and 8GB RAM for under $100 you're doing well.

the mobo i found for $40 and thats why i asked if anyone can find better, and the RAM im guessing around $30. so that leaves alot of room for a gpu and storage. I might have it passively cooled until my birthday tho, i already know that with birthday money that will allow me to get a new laptop (which is higher priority since i have somewhat access to a desktop and my personal laptops hinges broke and their $125 to replace on it so i am buying a dell e6420)

no point in watercooling it ? when your on that low of a budget might aswell go for more performance over watercooling
