Hello All,
Im currently in the process of upgrading my very old PC and need some questions answered. First, here is what I currently have...
Windows XP Home Edition OS
(CPU)
AMD Athlon (TM) XP 2800+ by AthenticAMD
2082 Mhz L2 Cache 512 KB 32bit
3.3v
(Mainboard)
Kelut by ASUSTek released 2004 yikes!!!!!!
(Memory Modules)
Bank0/1: 512 MB DIMM
Total Useable physical Memory 448 MB
(Video Card)
VIA/SG3 Unichrome IGP
Chipset: VIA/SG3 Unichrome IGP
64 MB
Alright, now that thats out the way. Im wanting to upgade my motherboard/CPU, RAM, Video card and possibly my power supply. Im not a pc gamer, but I multi-task and do a bit of video work and I stay on the internet. Im wanting a faster responding pc along with more storage (music, photos, videos etc.) I've actually purchased this replacement MB
Newegg.com - MSI H57M-ED65 LGA 1156 Intel H57 HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
which also has an Intel Core i5 750 CPU already
Now, that I have these two crucial parts for my new pc, what else do I need?
What power supply and video card will I need thats compatible with this board in order for everything to run smooth?
This will be my first PC overhaul, and im confident I can do it. I just need a lil help with compatibilty issues and suggestions will be great also.
Thanks,
TM
