New Build! New PC Builder! help/recomendations

[H4L0Monster]

Hey Everyone!!! New to the Forum and PC in general!!! looking for help rating a potential build in a Master Cooler Cosmos 1000 i picked up.

I am on an EXTREMELY Budgeted income for the build and would like to get a rig able to run video editing and twitch steaming (mainly Minecraft Sky Factory 3)

the components I'm looking at or have already are an Asus M4179xtd Evo Mobo with an AMD quad Phenom II @ 3GHz. runnning a Cooler Master T2. 2 HyperX Blu DDR3 @4gb each. and a Nvidia 7900GTX(which came in the current PC). I also have a LSP Ultra 650W power supply and (I think, again new to this) two random Sata drives totalling 500gb. will run Windows 10 64bit unless convinced otherwise.

 

How will this fair? any recommendations? again SUPPER BUDGETED but would love a running rig!

 

Thank you for the help!!

Good to know you accounted for dinner! 

 

And what software are you planning on using for editing? And I'd try and get a new PSU, since that one sounds fishy, and it'll be a lot more expensive to replace your rig after the PSU fries it. What's your total budget?

[H4L0Monster]

well ATM $100... that's a start of course. but its piece by piece. I was expecting to have to replace it. any recommendations?

So what do you already have? Not what you want, but what you have right now. That way we know what we have to work with.

intel pentium 2x 3.8GHz

2Gb total misc. RAM

and an Nvidia 7900 GTX

[H4L0Monster]

should I just Keep The Mobo and upgrade on it? or is that not recommended due to age?

Also over 60 percent of users use night theme. You can switch it on the very bottom. But basically your text is formatted and it blends in with the grayish black of night theme and we cant see your text.

Hmmm.... what country are you in? Scoring a decent i3/i5 rig of Craigslist for $100 and sticking your current GPU in it may be your best bet.

A Q6600 or 9590 would probs be better than an older AMD CPU. What state are you in, and what's the closest craigslist?
