Question Been given a graphics card and a PSU. Want to build my own computer and need some help!

Hi guys.

Hope this is the right place to post my query!

I'm looking to build my own gaming computer, nothing too expensive my budget is about €400-500. My brother has a graphics card and a power supply unit to give me, the graphics card is an ASUS GTX 650 TI, which he tells me is quite good, and the power supply unit is a Corsair CX500.

Now, I've been using the builds guides on r/pcmasterrace on reddit as a template for my build, specifically the 'Next-Gen Crusher' as they refer to it (here is the page: https://www.reddit.com/r/PCMasterRace/wiki/builds).

What I want to know is could I substitute the components that I have already for the video card/power supply unit in that build? Would this work out okay? Or should I go a different route altogether? I'm new to this so any advice/information you could give me would be invaluable.

Cheers

LG Black 12X BD-ROM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA Internal Blu-ray Disc Drive Model UH12NS30 - OEM $49.99
+ What you have been given would make a nice mid range gaming pc
Total price $486.93
