im relatively newby to pc building, im young and have very limited funds for this build. my first initial input will be around $300 + my old pc parts to start the build and get it up and running. so my first question is will i be able to use my compaqs HD 30 G because it has a built in os/reformat program(witch rocks), or will there be problems with old hardware settings from my compaq to the new hardware? il throw on my older 300g hd for program/game support. let me list the items i plan to install
Case -- my compaq case
PSU -$49.99- Logisys 550W Clear Power Supply FRYS.com*|*Logisys
Mobo -$59.99- Gigabyte GA-MA78LM-S2H AM3 FRYS.com*|*Gigabyte
Processor -$104.00- AMD Phenomâ„¢ II X2 555 Black FRYS.com*|*AMD
HD -- my compaq HD with OS already installed + 300 g hd
Dvd drive -- my sony drive
Ram -$29.99- 1GB DDR2 PC6400 PATRIOT (kind of small, but to get running + my 1gb stick will get 4 gb next payday) FRYS.com*|*PATRIOT
Gpu - on hold till i get more $$$$
ok so i want some of your opinions, with such a low budget, can i get this thing running ? will there be conflict with my HD? i really want a Decent gaming PC!!
