Hello, I am new to this forum, but I have been reading this forum for a while. Thanks for your help
I currently have a HP pavilion a1130 and I would like to upgrade it. I plan to get the best deal possible and keep it cheap since I plan to built a new rig in like 2-3 years from now. My budget is between $100 -$250
I would like upgrade my graphics card and possibly my Mobo + CPU + PSU. I dont think I need to upgrade my hard drive.
Here are my specs:
Athlon 64 3500+ 2.2 GHz
Memory Installed 1 GB (2 x 512) PC3200DDR
250 GB SATA
16x DVD(+/-)R/RW DL LightScribe drive
Motherboard: MSI RS480M2-IL SOCKET 939
ATI Radeon XPress 200
Bestec ATX-300-12ZCDR - 300 Watt ATX Power Supply
Since I have a low budge, I plan to buy this combo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.194986
1. GIGABYTE GV-R435OC-512I Radeon HD 4350 512MB 64-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card - Retail
2. AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Windsor 3.0GHz Socket AM2 125W Dual-Core Processor Model ADX6000IAA6CZ - OEM

hec HP585D RETAIL 585W ATX12V Power Supply $25

What Cpu fan do you people recommend?
Is this a good choice? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106135
The total will be about $ 185 after rebates
Will this set up fit in my case or should I get a new case?
Thanks for the help
