(not sure if this is the correct spot to post this but here goes anyway)
my current pc is majorly outdated and I want to gut it and throw in all new parts , since Im on a tight budget the setup will preferably be the following
new psu (wattage depending Video card selection requirements)
new board (am2+ mostlikely a micro atx from the size of the case )
2.8ghz black edition athlon X2 (going to OC it a little very little )
8 gig ddr2 800 (good performance but decent price ram)
320gig HD (probably Western digital)
pci express 2.0 hopefully but will settle for plain pci express (if I can fit a GTX260 definately 2.0)
divided on vid cards atm (considering case size) heard ati cards run hotter not sure the accuracy of the source though
and yeah vista 64 bit (heard bad things but i want that 8gig of ram to be effective)
possibly a soundcard thats actually compatible with vista lol
the case is a T2885 emachines case now cooling fans are one concern but I have read somewhere that newer boards may not line up with the slots ,,, so I need to know if anyone else has done an upgrade like this in this type of case. thanks in advance
