View Single Post - If I only upgrade these items, will I need to upgrade the other components?

Signature has my current specs.

I want to upgrade to:

Gigabyte Mobo LGA 775 here
E6400 Intel Core 2 Duo here
ZALMAN CPU Fan here
1 GB RAM here
eVGA 7600GT here
Rosewill 550W PSU here

If I upgrade to these parts in my system, I don't HAVE to upgrade HDD, correct? Which means I don't have to buy XP, right?
I hope so.

What would I, an average comp-user, need to be precautioned about when replacing these parts?

Thx
