Hey guys i Orginally brought a p6-2303a About a year ago for around $1000, i upgraded the PSU to a 700 watt Antek powersupply and the Gpu to a HD 5870 While keeping the old graphics and powersupply handy

now i feel like upgrading again and i am completely limited from the old case as it is a mini tower Should i put the old parts back in the pc and sell it as is or scrap what parts i can and put it into a new case? and advice would be amazing :)


Honestly thinking of just selling Everything expect my powersupply and building from that

Thoughts would be amazing :)

*Edit* this Pc will be only used for gaming.
Edit again* my Pre built pc for specs

You can put any video card you want into that case, as long as the length is not an issue.

If the wireless PCI card is in the way, just move it down a slot or two.

Antec makes a lot of 650 Watt PS and 750 Watt PS, but I don't see a 700 Watt PS in their current offerings. Which one do you have?

What is your target budget and country?

I checked Tom's Hardware Graphics Card Performance Hierarchy Chart and that is a very good video card, what is the performance issue?

Do you have the 1GB model of the HD 5870?

What resolution do you game at?
