My friend is often complaining about his laptop and I thought I would use the components I have from before upgrades and a tiny bit of cash to build him a new computer.

 

What I have is:

 

650 Ti

8GB DDR3 1866 RAM (4GB*2)

Hard Drive

Windows 7 Home Premium

 

 

What I need help with is deciding what processor, motherboard, and case to buy to complete the build.

 

The problem is I'm working on a  VERY low budget, so all I'm looking for is a processor that won't bottleneck the 650 Ti (I'm not sure if that will even be a problem but still)
 

Thanks a bunch,

(Sorry if this post seems rushed, that's because it was. If there's any info I left out that you need just ask)
