Well at the moment I have a compaq pesario, AMD athlon XP 3000+ 1 gig ddr sd Ram(PC 2700 184pin) and a 9700 ATI readon. It's pretty ****ty atm just beacuse the power supply has been 250w since i bought it thus, it shuts down every 3 hours from overheating(I suspect).
So I decided it was time to update! with 420$ i decided on this

This will be my first build so im pretty pumped, I suspect my current ram will work with my new board since it is 184pin but will just be a little slower then pc3200?
Im hoping when I get a job I can update this pretty easily the GPU and the Mem, and maybe the PSU depending on what GPU I decide on
