I have a computer I built about 4 years ago (AMD Athlon 64 3500+ w/MSI k8N Neo2). I use computer primarily for editing videos with Sony Vegas and pictures in Adobe. I do not use the computer for gaming.
I am wondering if there are components in my old computer that could be used in building a new computer.
Specifically, the power supply is a THERMALTAKE W0014 SILENT PUREPOWER SERIES 480W (BLACK) ATX 12V UL & FCC POWER SUPPLY FOR ATX CASES.
The case is a Thermaltake Xaver(sp?) V.
The graphics card is AGP, so I assume it will need to be replaced.
The hard drives are SATA.
I want to build an Intel 64 bit quad core machine, operating system 64 bit vista.
Can/should I reuse power supply?
Can/should I reuse case?
How important is graphics card? How much should I spend?
Would old drives work on new mobo (I would use the old drive to backup and temporarily store video files.)?
Given that I probably will not overclock, suggestions on mobo for new system?
Thank you.
