Hello good sirs. I have a old computer, I wanted to upgrade most things and make it compact and small so I can take it with me when I move to different cities for school. Things I need to upgrade are mobo, cpu, ram, case and video card.
Here are my choices:
CPU $270: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Quad Core Processor LGA775 Kentsfield 2.40GHZ 1066FSB 8MB Retail Box
is this the good one? I hope it includes the heatsink/fan/thermal compound stuff
Case $30: Compucase 6K28 mATX Case BLACK/SILVER 2X5.25 2X3.5 1X.3.5INT W/ Front USB & Audio No PS
I dont need a power supply I already have a 450Watt one.. and I need a mini case, audio/usb outlets in the front and this has it all. I just dont know if this case will fit my mobo/cpu/fan.. Im really scared it wont especially cause of that black thing jutting out at the side - then again I have no depth perception lol. And I have never used usb/audio connectors at the front.. are they hard to setup or need anything special? Pictures are at
One Two Three and the
Front. Its specs are
here. Also I have 3 hard drives (might get one more later) and a CDRom drive.. no floppy drive. Will this fit it all? I dont mind if my hard drive sits in a CDRom slot XD
Motherboard $108: INTEL - MOTHERBOARDS MATX MBD S775 1333 DDR2 PCIE VID GETH VIIV
I have NO idea about motherboards.. I picked this fellow because the price was ok and I guess it has the things I need on it.. I hope >_<)
Ram $98: Corsair XMS2 TWIN2X2048-6400 2GB 2X1GB PC2-6400 DDR2-800 CL 5-5-5-18 240PIN DIMM Dual Channel Memory
Same thing as the motherboard pretty much.. dont know if this is ok o_O)
Video card:
No idea.. my budget is about $200-250 for this I guess.. I dont know which to get. So many colors!
Please help me... I dont know if the things are all compatible with each other or if they are good choices >_<
Thank you
