I am building my first pc. I was given a graphics card and a power supply by a friend on steam. My goals with this build is to be able to produce videos, stream, and render animations in 1080p. I need to build this computer around $700 - $900. The graphics card I already have is a GTX 560 Ti 1024MB PCIe ( http://www3.pny.com/GTX-560-Ti-1024MB-PCIe-P2961C451.aspx ), and my power supply is 550 watts. Any ideas on what kind of specs the hardware is going to need? Suggestions would be nice.
Advice please :)

Do you need to buy a monitor? I suggest either an fx-8350 or an i7-3770k(@microcenter they are around 250 so it's a good deal)

without monitor it's around 700. i recommend either selling that 560 ti in the future and buying something newer like the 660 or 7870 etc.

Yeah, I was going to buy a 120hz. I don't really want to go through the trouble of selling the GPU. Is it possible to just use the 560 ti? I don't really plan on playing anything too graphics intensive. Also it has a little note that says "ASRock Z77 Pro3 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard has an onboard USB 3.0 header, but the Rosewill CHALLENGER ATX Mid Tower Case does not have front panel USB 3.0 ports."

On a budget build like this, I would highly suggest going for AMD's FX8350. The chip is cheaper and so are the mobos.

I edited the parts now they're all compatible and stuff. If you don't plan on playing modern games on maxed settings on 1080p then yeah it'll do just fine it's still a good card.
edit: apparently usb 3.0 slots are in the back of that previous case so your motherboard will still have 3.0 slots in the case just in the back not in the front(which isn't really necessary anyways) usb 3.0 isn't really used much aside from a couple exceptions.

I've played quite a few modern games with my 560 ti at max settings and get more than enough fps, I maxed out bioshock infinite and get a steady 80+fps

Why are you recommending him i7-3770K if there's a new generation equivalent?

zilisWhy are you recommending him i7-3770K if there's a new generation equivalent?
because that new generation haswell i7 is 100 dollars more for literally <10% improved performance.

frknPretty sure it's less than $100 more
oh apparently they sell haswells at microcenter at too. if you can find one at microcenter then that works.
