A friend recently gave me an old computer that he doesn't use anymore. It is the Studio XPS 435T/9000
I would be mainly playing Starcraft 2 and browsing the internet + youtube.
The specs are:
System Model (motherboard I think): XPS 435t/9000
CPU: Intel core i7 920@2.67gHz // 2668mHz // 4core // 8 processor
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce GT 220
Memory: 6 RAM cards @ 9GB
Storage: I plan on getting an SSD + 1TB HDD
Power supply: I don't know how to check for that
The case it comes in is REALLY big.
I would like to get a smaller case for this. Usually I would just put all the items into ca.pcpartpicker.com, pick new items, and then see if it is compatible. When I search for the items at pcpartpicker, the parts are not shown - I think they are too old?
MY QUESTION IS - Will I be able to remove the MoBo, CPU, Graphics Card, Memory and Power supply and move them to a smaller case? (What size case would I need?)
and if so - Is the computer good enough to run Starcraft 2 and browse/watch youtube videos smoothly?
I am thinking that I only need to buy a new case but I am not sure if I need to upgrade any of the existing parts.
Thank you.
