Hi. After thinking for a LONG time, I have decided that i MAY (if money allows) build a custom computer using a couple parts from my old Dell XPS 400. If I used the DVD-drives and floppy drive from the dell along with the hard drive, what would I need besides the following parts (I have the keyboard, mice monitor, etc taken care of):
500W-750W PSU
some sort of Geforce (EVGA) Mobo
either a Core 2 Duo E6700 or a Q6600
Case (mayb antec, I heard they r good)
320 MB or 640MB 8800GTS
2GB RAM
Any suggestions on parts would be great. I'd REALLY like to keep the price low but I wanna splurge on the video card (No GTX, thats TOO expensive). Any prices u guys could give would be great. I'd prefer a SLI-compatible board (quality plz) that isnt too expensive.
ALSO...is the OS installed on the hard drive or will i need to buy a new copy? Cause I'm fine with XP for now and I'd rlly rather not buy an operating system as it will cost extra.
Thanks for any help you can give. I'd really like this to be a successful project!!
