Thanks in advance for the advice.
I'm doing a rebuild of Dad's computer, who passed away from cancer last year. Couldn't throw the machine out, so thought I'd do a heavy overhaul (yes I know it will basically be a new machine).
Here's the setup I'm going with: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Gunk/saved/4sMn.
My Dad had a couple of Maxtor Diamondmax 21 SATA drives and one Maxtor Diamond 21 PATA drive (backup). http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822144450. They are 7200 rpm drives, but given they are a good 6 years old do you think I need to replace them? I figure they would work just fine and I could put the cost of new HDDs towards a better GPU.
Also, my Dad's rig has a Silencer 750w PSU: Silencer 750w https://www.newpowersupply.com/ocz_s75q_750w_ultra_quiet_psu_silencer_atx_sata_sli_power_supply-pr-489-c-1-p-1.html. Any reason to get a new PSU?
Again, appreciate the insight and feel free to share any other insights. Case is an Antec full ATX size.
