Hello! I've been playing around with the idea of upgrading everything in my computer. However I want to know if it would be possible to reuse my case, my two HDD's and the optical drive.

Although I have nothing set in stone, I was thinking of a FX-6300/650 ti boost set-up. My main concern is the case, I have absolutely no hands-on experience with hardware and I'd like an opinion. Below is a link to the specifications of my desktop.

Hp Pavilion a6430f

Thank you! :D

I live in Canada, at this time would only want to reuse the case just so I would be able to put more money into the rest of the parts I would need. Also another quick question, how would my HDD's work with fraps? Thank you again :)

From the link I see the case is the mATX ( mid-size ATX), so you can use it for most regular AM3+ MB with FX6300, but you need to make sure check the dimensions ( your case and MB you will buy) first because the case is smaller than the regular mATX een it is the mATX case.

Or just buy the new case from newegg.com if you are in USA because you will get the good deal from the sale. And you can reuse the two HDD, DVD and maybe the memory card reader too.
