Hey Guys I have lately built 3-4 computers by writting down 3-4 machines of specs..
I only need the upgrade!! Ive already got other parts on my old computer
Computer AT the moment: (age 5 years)
Pentium 4 2.8 Ghz + Hyper Threading
1Gig of Pc3200 Kingsston Dual and 1 Gig of PC3200 of Geil
Thermaletake PurePower 680W
120Gig Harddrive
Soundbaster Audigy ZS2
I am planning to change the mobo, cpu, vga card and ram soo that means i have the PCI-Express function, conroe compatibility and etc.
I have come up with this:
New:
Asus P5WDH Deluxe
Pentium 4 950 3.4Ghz
2x1Gig Corsair Value DDR2 667
HIS 512MB IceQ3 X1900XT
Old:
Thermaletake PurePower 680W
120GiG Harddrive
Soundbaster Audigy ZS2
Sooo im just wondering if that is a good combination or should i have some different parts like a new better hardrive or something etc etc..
And also ive got some questions you guys could answer:
Do these parts work well together as in low amounts of confusion and freezes???
Is my powersupply enough for all the new hardware??
Should i start with a fresh hardrive since ive got a freaash cpu, motherboard and etc. or CAN i use both?? of i get a SATA one ?? A Western Digital or a Seagate barracuda 7200.10 or wateva the new hardrives are.. Please Help on That!
Im also worried about this thing it was said on this site:

Note: In order for a Core 2 DUO (Conroe) processor to work with this mainboard you may require to perform a BIOS update which will require an older processor or contacting Asus for a new BIOS chip. OcUK does not provide a BIOS flashing service and will not accept used product back unwanted as this board does support Conroe with Asus latest BIOS.
Is that true? is so i aint a comp expert :S and i dont want to do that if i decide to use a CONROE down the track :S ???
Hmm wat other questions??
Any thing that can help me decide! and any other relevent suggestions that can help me build a decent pc that is mostly used for gaming but have some strenuating programs like photoshop video editing (intermediate) and listening to mp3s and dvds and movie watching u know the deal heheh
