Pc parts.
I'm planning on buying a few parts for my pc. Would anyone happen to have some guides for power supply, graphics card, and ram replacement?

Really depends on your max price.

I'd have to see the exact model of Mobo to be sure but a good cheap upgrade from what you have would be a GTX 950[www.newegg.com] 2 sticks of DDR3[www.newegg.com] and a 430w PSU[www.newegg.com] so you have a little overhead for overclocking

the total comes out to about $190 USD I could find a weaker GPU and cut it down to about $130 USD but it's not recommended

I was aready mostly done with choosing the parts, and they are similar to what you describe, a gtx 950, two ram sticks and a 430/500 watt psu. I was more specifically asking for " General Building" guides for those parts, as alrhough I know it shouldn't get overcomplicated, I haven't done this before so i'd like to stay on the safe side.

Use any video on YouTube. Building a PC is literally like building with legos.

Make sure to purchase a wifi card. Otherwise, your pc cannot connect to wireless connections.

And make sure to have a keyboard and mouse too. I heard those were useful.
I'm pretty sure people know about buying a keyboard and mouse but I don't think many people know about the importance of wife cards.
Get a GTX 1080

For PSU's, don't go with Corsair's CX and RM series, they're not neccesarily bad PSUs, but they're not designed for gaming rigs.

Or just wait for AMD to release something that can compete with it.

Even a hundred dollar can be quite expensive.

uhh, wait for the rx 470. and the 500w psu will be enuff. as for the cpu, get the i3-4160 since you're on haswell (or an i5 4460, depends on how much money you got). also, how much data and speed for the dual channel kit you got?

Mine already has wireless support, but i'm using ethernet anyways.

I don't need that high, for my needs 950 should be enough.

I'm going with an Evga, similar/ the same one that devoid linked.

This is what I figured it would boil down to. The only thing that I expect to give me trouble is the power since my case is fairly small.
