HD 3200 hybrid with HD 4670?

You can grab this 320gb here, if you want to leave the 640gb in that machine.

I like the processor but I was thinking we could go a little cheaper with the PSU and case.. I mean dirt cheap for the case and get the Cooler Master 500 watt PSU that I tagged earlier for $39.99.

You aren't going to get much cheaper than that case, since it has free shipping, and most cases don't. But you could just get the case and not the combo, then get that PSU.

EDIT: You could get this case, it's about 9 bucks cheaper and has free shipping...

Antec > Cooler Master in quality? It's not really that large of a price difference.

The Antec 300 is one of the best cases around in the price range.

Another reason I think the Antec 500w would be better is because with the combo deal, it's 5 bucks more, and it has free shipping. The CM PSU doesn't, so that would probably ruin the difference.

What is the best way to determine the manufacturer of your Motherboard? I opened up the case and couldn't get any information from in there.. I tried using the trial version of Everst Lavalys - Comprehensive IT Security and Management

And got this info.. NorthBridge AMD RS780 NorthBridge AMD K10IMC.. I'm a little confused. The SouthBridge data was blocked because it was a trial version. Any ideas?

Free, will tell you just about everything.

I doubt your motherboard can handle an AM3 processor either way.
