First, tell us: what is you budget and where do you live (so we know price and where you can buy)? What resolution do you play, 1920x1080? Is gaming you main focus for your build?

And are you willing to do a completely new build? echoing @ErrantNyles what's your budget? What's it used for?

[Jurrunio]

graphics card first, then CPU, SSD last. Not the GPU and SSD you picked though.

[limegorilla]

From what I can judge, this should be what your aiming for.

no i'm not a gamer ,i only play minecraft and Minecraft storymode and it become slow ,and some old games ,but the graphic is not good. so i see the GT 730 is enough for me.

GT 730 not worth $60. In fact for a budget this low you'd better get a used graphics card.

 

Where will you be buying though?

my PSU is a chinese one 350 watt but i'm sure it's max is 250 watt ,which fits my choice graphic card GT 730 ,after i try a power supply calculate site, it give me 188 Watt for 16 hrs working computer per day with my new parts that i'm planning to buy ,so my PSU fits. and i want to check this 6 pin.

Then I assume it doesnt have any 6pin. It should still have molex though? With a 2-molex-to-1-6-pin adapter there are many more choices. GTX 660, 650ti, 650, 560, 550ti, 460 are all possible (within price range). AMD choices are HD 7770, 7750, 6770, 5870, 5770.

Dont use power calculators. They mark up your power draw so they can sell you a more expensive power supply. Ask here instead.

Ugh it's hopeless. Hope the 730 is good enough for your games. srsly even csgo can only reach 90fps on 720p high, and that game is so easy to run it's used to benchmark the oldest hardware.
