Currently I'm using a socket 939 board(out of style!) 2 gigs of outdated 939 board ram, a 8800GS Superclocked video card and an Athlon 4200+ 2.4ghz dual core.
Now, what I plan on doing with my 400 dollars is getting the following:
-Motherboard
-Processor
-Case (with power supply)
Requirements:
I have to be able to stick everything else into the new case:
-Video Card
-External Drives (unless it comes with a dvd drive)
-Hard Drive
I think to get a hard drive to work for a new computer I just have to stick it in and reformat right? That's what somebody told me.
Also, since I know you're all tech savvy is there anyway I can have music coming out of my speakers and ventrilo through my headset? I'm almost certain I have 2 soundcards. The realtek on board and the sound card that came with my icemat audio headphones (I think it's an external soundcard, called c-media usb device.
In ventrilo I can select from the dropdown box:
Default Wave Mapper
Realtek AC97 Audio
C-Media USB Sound Device
This means I have 2 sound cards right? So it's possible, right?
Anyway, I appreciate it guys.
