Current PC
AMD ATHLON 64 FX-53 1MB CACHE 939-PIN
ABIT AV8 SOCKET 939 K8 MOTHERBOARD
4x CORSAIR 512MB DDR PC3200XL XMSX
2x WESTERN DIGITAL RAPTOR 74GB SATA 10K RPM 8MB HD
CREATIVE SOUND BLASTER AUDIGY 2 ZS 7.1
ATI RADEON X800 XT 256MB PLATINUM EDITION AGP (soon to be 7800gs)
PC POWER AND COOLING TURBO COOL 510 DELUXE PSU
Was wondering if i should be looking to upgrade this machine or if i should be looking into building a new machine all together. The one thing that really gets me worried is my Mobo beacuse it doesnt have PCI-e. But i figure i can easily get a new Mobo, and get new memory while im at it if i can go that way.
if i was to get a new motherboard (that is socket 939) would my CPU work in it or would i need to get a new one (im kinda new to building PC's etc).
My question is it is worth it to keep the computer i have now, should i just get a new motherboard, or should i just build a new one in a little?
