Ok, well I'm pretty savvy with computers, but I've never built one. I just recently got a minimum-wage paying job at a pizza place, but I make tips as a delivery driver (don't worry, I'm going somewhere with this). Well, I decided to build my own computer by living off of my tips and using my checks to buy the pieces for the computer. A couple days ago, I purchased a new mobo and processor from newegg.com. The processor is a P42.6Ghz, 800mhzFSB, and the mobo is from Intel (if asked to provide links, I will in another reply.).
Anyways, I only make about 300$ every 2 weeks, and I'm in desperate need of a new machine. I have a GeForce5800 Ultra 256meg card in my PIII600 right now, so I was just gonna take that card, put it in this mobo, get some ram, put the processor in, get a new box, then use my old floppy/cd-burner/hard drive/sound card/speakers/monitor from my Dell (since all those things work fine right now) and make my new computer for about 600$. Would this work? Would I need to buy a new HD? I know this may sound silly to you guys, but since I've never done this before, I would really like to be sure.
Thanks!
