Building a new computer and need some advice: Thankyou!

[Bradleyz]

I am only salvaging two parts from my current build. A Pentium 4 Processor at 2.8ghz and the 80G hard drive. I was just wondering, since I am getting a new motherboard, will I have problems transferring the processor and the heatsink (I checked and yes the pins fit 775).

The new video card requires a minimum 350 Watt power supply and I know I need a new one lol.
-any recommendations for a PSU?


Oh, if you have any comments on things to avoid while putting a computer together, FEEL FREE to add.

Thank you VERY much


Can link parts on request.

Well i would recommend going for a bigger hard drive they don't cost that much

Hard drive is not really in the budget, but thank you for your input!

Mostly because of the price and, I am running a GeForce 6600 as of now.

... Bad GFX. Budget?

1) Remember the standoffs
2) P4 2.8 is outdated. Very.

Not suggest you get that GPU...
ATI HD3850 will perform a lot better.
PSU: depends on budget. But at least get something like Rosewill RP500-2
