I am trying to make a budget PC unit that is going to run windows XP because i can't stand windows 7 compatibility. I have a perfectly find hard drive, soundcard, all that. Can I use that over in the new build?
I want to make basically a system with these kinda specs:
At least a dual to quad core processor from AMD or Intel
3GB RAM
512MB Graphics Card
160GB Hard Drive (out of my dimension 8400)
Audigy 2 SoundBlaster (out of my dimension 8400)
20 Inch Monitor VGA (already got it)
At least 400w power supply
I basically am going to be playing games like Jade Dynasty, EVE online, perfect world international, freespace, and older games. I dont play crysis or any brand new games at all, but I want to be able to if something comes along and I like it a lot.
I already have:
Dimension 8400
3Gb ram
128mb Radeon X300 Vid Card
Pentium 4 3.2ghz
Audigy 2 soundblaster
Should I go w/ a new build or just upgrade what I got?
