• Would it be possible to get enough parts on this budget? ($300)

I've got this really old computer that I can't stand anymore, and recently I think it might have died. Not sure, nothing will display on the screen. Regardless, I have upgraded a few parts on the computer over the years and I've got an idea. I have lots of parts I can use to combine with new parts that I will purchase off of Newegg. I am really tight on cash so I have a low budget for these parts. Here are the parts I can (possibly) use: - [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131328"]PowerColor Radeon HD 5770 512MB[/URL] - [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139003"]Corsair 450W PSU[/URL] - [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129042"]Antec Three Hundred Case[/URL] - Two HDDs and Sata cables that I can use for storage - Monitor, keboard, and mouse. Parts I will need if I can use all of those parts, maximum budget of $300: - A CPU - Motherboard - And RAM. - An optical drive is not necessary but if it's cheap throw it in too. I will be using this rig for gaming, mostly. I also code, render videos, and use Photoshop a lot. The only thing I can think that I might have to upgrade is the PSU also. If I have to, please note that I do. If you don't think I can afford those parts, [B]please give me a list of those parts anyways so I can save up to purchase them later.[/B]
It's certainly possible. [img]http://puu.sh/4tL6[/img]

Now, I will be able to use the old parts with those parts too? Will the power supply have enough wattage? Also what kind of games could I play on that? I'd like to be able to play Skyrim when it comes out. And Battlefield 3, but I don't want to be asking for too much.
