Hey how are you guys doing? I'll go into specs in a second. First lemme explain. I got this set up from a friend who was getting rid of it. I been using it for about 3 months with no problems. I'd like to upgrade it a bit, I'm wondering if it would be viable to do so.. or scrap it and try for something newer. I would like to the stay in the price range of 100 USD$ to 350$ MAX. I dont wanna spend 350 but if its the difference between some great and something ****ty I'll do it. Cheaper is better tho, I'm not a hardcore gamer or anything. I do not know if I should upgrade the power supply.
I'd like to keep my current set up just tweak it abit definitely a new case, is it hard moving everything into a new one? Mine has led lights and a neon cathode but I'd like to make upgraded one quite as possible with power supply gaskets, and fan mounts I have a general idea about them just no specific knowledge
I am completly lost on cables to connect motherboard to hd, or dvd, to ANYTHING lol, I'd like to revamp that whole mess in my box
My Current specs: pics to follow.
Motherobard: Foxconn 925xe7aa
Ram: 2x512 ddr2 533
Power supply: ATXpower 400 * not sure how to find out what exactly, says that on it.
HD: Maxtor 6y12p0 scsi-0
Video card: radeon x800 sapphire i think.
OS: windows vista 32bit I might be able to upgrade without spending money tho.
The Case: ****ty been dropped or kick or something prolly my back in the day partying with my friend. I'd like to get something with a side window if possible.
I'm looking at Amazon.com: Antec Three Hundred Gaming Case External 3 X 5.25; Internal 6 X 3.5 2*Usb2.0: Electronics
and
Amazon.com: Cooler Master RC-310-BWN1-GP Elite 310 ATX, MATX Mid Tower Case with Window (Black/Blue): Electronics
The Heatsink:
ORB Newegg.com - Thermaltake CL-P0257 Blue orb II CPU Cooler for LGA775 & K8 - CPU Fans & Heatsinks
or
zalman cool looking
Newegg.com - ZALMAN 9500A 92mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler - CPU Fans & Heatsinks

Corsair Newegg.com - CORSAIR 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model VS2GBKIT533D2 - Desktop Memory
Objectives- New Case, CPU heatsink upgrade, RAM 3gb or more, Power supply? Cables to connect HD and DVD
THANKS FOR ALL THE FUTURE HELP
