Upgrading My Dell Dimension 3100

[Atunzuman]

Ok, so im planning on buying new parts for my Dell Dimension 3100.
Would this things im buying work on this computer:

Dell Dimension 3100 (Pentium 4 Processor 640 3.2GHz; 256MB RAM) Overview - PC & Peripherals - CNET Asia

*******

(From 512mb) Ram: 2GB Dell Dimension 3100 Memory Upgrade | Dimension 3100 2GB Dell RAM modules

Video Card: Amazon.com: Nvidia Geforce 9500GT Pci 1GB DDR2 2PORT Dvi HDtv Low Profile: Electronics

PSU: (Unknown Please provide a good choice, not to high on price either, just something that works)

Everything looks good.

I use a Antec Earthwatts 380W on my Intel Atom 330. It gets the job done. I've used it 24/7 for a good year now.

New opinions please. (I need a PSU to)

What did I do wrong? i gave you a suggestion, not necessarily an answer on what to buy.

the memory you linked should work fine for your pc.

the thing im not sure about is the gfx card though. that card you picked is a pcie x16 card, but your mobo only has a pcie x1 slot so idk if it would work.

It says it PCI, i think its the same as this:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814139046 at a lower price, wouldn't it work?

 

[Trotter]

Yes, it would work.

Ok, now can someone find me a cheap PSU? Like the bare minimum i would need to run these, it would be appreciated as i dont want to find an incompatible one.

you will need a power supply adapter to use a regular ATX PS on a dell desktop. here is some info. if you plug in the PS without the adapter it will short out the moterboard and possibly damage the CPU.

6 Pin Dell P10 AUX Connector Adapter

if you are going to buy a power supply i would get at least 500 watts to use with video cards. the video card you picked will work with 400 watts
but if you decide later to buy another computer you can remove the PS and put the old one back in. video cards in the $100 plus range require more power.
