Hello everyone, I'm a new member here but have some experience with computers. An easy explanation of my problem is back in 2007 i bought a Dell Xps 410 ( intel 2.8ghz dual core/ nvidia geforce 7300 LE graphics card) back then i told it was one of the best made gaming computers of its time by the rent-to-own store. Well it is now 2010 and lets just say its not holding up to well, i had to replace the graphics card for a ATI radeon 4650 HD, and add 4 GB's of new ram.
I enjoy gaming, CoD MW & MW2, BFBC2, etc.. but the computer cant handle the newer games comming out. (I blame the cpu).
After doing some shopping on Newegg for combo deals, came across these 3 items which caught my eye, i dont wanna spend big but i want to at least be able to play games with a a high frame rate and work from there.
The Items are....
Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, LED LCD TV, Digital Cameras and more! (MB & CPU)
Newegg.com - RAIDMAX SMILODON ATX-612WBP Black 1.0mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Foldout MB Computer Case With 500W Power Supply (Case & PSU)
Now my question is, The PSU that comes with the case is a 20+4pin but the MB says Power Pin - 24 Pin. Will the PSU work for the MB. Also, what do you guys think about the listed items (more concerned about the MB/CPU thoughts).
Another thing i noticed is that in the images of the Case, the rear of it where the outlets of the pci slots, plug-ins for audio, mouse, keyboard, etc.. look entirely different from what the motherboard puts out, is that just a advertising image that doesnt show the proper spaces for the said areas, or do i need to shop for a different case?
As previously stated, i just want something that'll be a deffinate boost from this almost stock Dell XPS 410. (oh and go ahead and laugh at me, i know the computer sucks now-a-days)
