Budget: at the most, $700. The cheaper, the better.
Country: US
Apps n' games n' shit: Music, Source games and Unreal games.
What I can reuse: Hard drive
Extras: key board, speakers, and web cam (possibly). I already have a mouse and (shitty) monitor.
Now Facepunch, BUILD!

Also, I've never built a computer before. Tuts needed?
Do you need an OS? Also what is the monitor's resolution?
also tell us whether your HDD is IDE or SATA

Don't need an OS, and I have no idea what the res on my monitor is. As for the hard drive, I have no idea what type it is. It's off a laptop (using brackets to be able to mount it in a desktop) if that helps.
Wow I'm fucking useless.
If it's a laptop HDD, it's probably 5400rpm, so just get a new HDD - your budget is plenty anyway
But then I'd have to get a new OS, re-download games, re-install virus software, lose a buch of data... etc.
you don't have it on a disk?
Wait. HURRRRR. I forgot that I could just copy it over to a new drive.

I feel like you can do better though. You should see what other people post.
Thanks mate. I think I'll stick with my current hard drive though, so I'll ditch the OS and hard drive. Chances are I'll upgrade later, but every little bit off now helps.

Assuming no one posts better of coarse.
Not too sure about that ASrock motherboard. Might consider swinging for a better board.
nothing wrong with asrock, especially for lower budgets

For a $700 budget that doesn't need an OS, nor a HDD, I'd say there are better choices.
This board below would give him a bunch of extra features like Crossfire compatibility and USB 3.0.

if you're going to spend more on the motherboard this one is a better option
