So basically I have this Computer. I paid $150 from my dads Friend brand new in the box.
Current Specs: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Current Graphics Card: GeForce 9200 - Driver 320.80 Beta

Current WiFi Card: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I wanted to kinda just use this PC as a base and rebuild it. It will be my first time.
Heres the new stuff I have my mind on using.

Processer: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Graphics Card: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
RAM Card: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Cooling System: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

What do you guys think? Rate it from 1-10 with the new Hardware.

I'm new to all the building of computers. If you can give me suggestions that would be awesome.

Just build a new one from the ground up, because with the parts that you want your going to have to get a new motherboard. Because in the picture you have an AMD CPU and Motherboard, but you have Intel processor in your upgrade list. So your going to have to get an Intel motherboard.
Also update your parts list the links don't work.

There's utterly no point, You would require a new motherboard for the Intel CPU, A new PSU etc. Not to mention that most companies put guards in place to stop you upgrading.

You would need a new motherboard with the right chip-set along as the right pci slots etc. to fit the new part. So all your would need is a new motherboard, maybe a new case, and you would need to make sure your power supply has enough pins etc. there's alot more than just picking out the parts you want.

It doesn't matter if it's Intel or AMD. If it's as old as the one you posted, it's a waste of time to upgrade.

If you plan on using all new hardware you will first need a lga1155 socket board and a new case probably to support the board unless its a atx midtower case. you would be better off selling that computer for some cash then just build a new one.

Intel isn't the only or best option and 1155 is now a dead socket anyway. Unless you can get 1155 stuff very cheap, you should probably go Haswell.
