Questions of compatibility

[Mr.Samsa]

I have a Dell Dimension 8250 with the typical hard drive, dvd and cd-rw. I also have a radeon 9800xt.
I'm upgrading for 3d rendering. Please tell me if everything will work well with my computer. Maybe also tell me where I should go to have all the stuff installed.

Thank you for your expertise. I've got some knowledge of computers, but not enough to be confident about this purchase.

Well you can't use alot of things from your dell. Basically you have to buy all new stuff, except your hd, dvd and cd-rw. I'm not sure what else you can use or what case will work with that.

Sell everything and get a new comp.
