If you replace your MOBO then that might not have any effect on you performance. Also, most OEM cases are a nightmare because they often use non-standard components, weld the I/O shield, or the PSU / cages are intrusive in some respect to the MOBO.

Therefore, and in looking at your listed components my 'Best Suggestion' is to keep and reuse or sell/donate your current PC. If you sell or donate then you need to FULLY format you HDD -> http://www.webopedia.com/DidYouKnow/computer_science/2007/completely_erase_harddrive.asp

Otherwise verify your CPU Exact Model Athlon 64 X2 5000+, it has to be exact -> http://www.asrock.com/mb/cpu.asp?Model=A770DE%2b

Use CPUz to identify - http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html

Correct me if I'm wrong lynmachine but didn't you put everything into a Cooler Master HAF case or something?

 

[lynmachine]

yes everything is in a
CM haf 912 case
a new psu

only looking to see if my cpu will work in the new mobo i wont and see if the ram at 800mhz 3gb of ddr2 ram will be ok ty
