Hey everyone! I'm new and I am having trouble upgrading my sister's PC. She brought it from Best buy for $250.00 but after buying a new laptop she no longer wants it. I am trying to build a gaming PC and I was wnondering if it would be better to build one on my own or upgrade the one she has left here.

Currently the only things I want to keep inside of the original rig is the:

Western Digital 500 GB HDD
and the DVD/CD ROM Drive

The parts I want to add to this:

Corsair CMPSU-750TXV2 Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 Power Supply
GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 Intel Z68 Motherboard
Intel Core i5-2500K
EVGA 02G-P3-1568-KR GeForce GTX 560 Ti Video Card

(I'm a Dreamer and I'm not very experienced)

Would this change my software? What should I expect when I install these items?

Thank You!
