Hello!
Im am a newb at upgrading computers so im asking if this is a good idea.
I currently have a Dell 8200 (2002) with 2GHZ, 512 MB and a Geforce 420MX.
I was looking for new components cause this above is getting a little old, but I don't have a large budget. (470-540€)
maybe buying:
ASUS M2NPV-MX AM2 micro ATX : 77,89
AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2,4GHZ AM2 : 123,13
XFX GeForce 7600GT XXX Edition : 206,80
DIMM DDR2 1024MB PC4200 533Mhz : 86,85
TOTAL :484,67
This in combination with one DVD drive, Cd drive and 200 GB of total memory on hardisk. (IDE)
Will this fit altogheter?
And will the MOBO fit in the case of my old Dell 8200? If it doesnt, do I only have to buy a new case and just instal the whole thing in there? I also think I need a better power supply. (although I don't know what I have now)
I am playing AOE3 and some older games but im hoping that with this system i can play future games on medium-high settings without lag.
Thanks in advance!
