Now will I notice a big difference from my current computer to my new build.
Will the encoding of dvds be faster, will internet browsing surf faster ?

From a scale of 1-10 or percentage from 0-100%
How much difference will I notice, or will there be from my current to my new computer ?

Let me know
thanks
 
Hey whats the cheapest price I can get a case w/ psu and fans ?
I will look for it locally to save on shipping costs.
 
I'm also throwing a lightscribe DVD burner on my new build.

Let me know how much better is my new CPU vs my OLD one.
 
I would say 70%-80%. You will be surprised. Just know when you get your case locally you will most likely have to by a Power supply because Dell often use power supplies that only work in dells.
 
Nice simple case.
But I'm not going to spend more on whats outside than on whats inside.
I'll look for one for under $40 with both fans and the psu.
Thanks
