So atm i have a pc was a prebuilt machine from Acer and ive had it for a couple of years and have slowly been upgrading it myself. I first changed the onboard video card to a 5200 and now its running a 6800GT. The ram went from the original 1/4 of a gig to half a gig and now a gig. Ive added a couple of hard drives and dvd-rw drives, some more fans/heatsinks, sound card, network card. And i found i reached my limit in upgrading it because ive always been restricted when running programs and playing games through its processing power because it being an old machine has a poor 32bit 1.9ghz 2600 (i think) amd inside it which really cant cope with the things i try and get it to do.
So i saved up some cash and have ordered a ASUS A8V Socket 939 VIA K8T800 Pro ATX AMD Motherboard (which has an agp port) to go with the X-Blitz Ninja case and 450V PSU i bought. I also ordered a 4200+ AMD 64bit X2 socket 939 processor to go on the new motherboard. And a Nauticus water cooling system.
These are the only new parts i have bought and was hoping that i would be able to transfer the video card, hard drives, dvd drives, and ram from the desktop i have atm to the new machine and hopefully get it all working fairly smoothly. Now as far as i can see i shouldnt have too much trouble with this but then again im probably overlooking many things.
Im looking for some advice in what could possibly or will not work in what i plan to do and whether theres something missed out... you know the usual questions. Also what sort of order i should go about building the new machine with these parts and whether i should buy something else now before i start that i will need when doing it etc.
Im fairly sure i must have missed something in my reasoning of transfering the parts i have now to the new machine because i always do :P
Thanks /world4ch/
