Near total system rebuild.

[fenriswolf616]

Hello and thank you in advance for taking the time to read this and replying. I apologize for any horrific newbishness. Ive had the same system for around 5 years or so and I would like to build a new rig salvaging what I can from the old. Ill be updating the older components as the money frees up. I have updated GPUS and installed aftermarket cooling as far as hardware goes and obviously I`m pretty green at this. I would like to know first off of any compatibility issues with the below components as well as any power issues I may need to resolve. I will be keeping my media drives and soundcard an AudigyZ2S, as well as a GPU I upgraded to about a year and a half ago or so; a Sapphire Radeon HD 4870. I will also be keeping unless it needs replaced a Enermax 600watt powersupply. The new components as are follows:

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)

Western Digital RE4 250GB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Enterprise Hard Drive 64MB Cache (I specifically chose a small but fast hd as this will be a poormans gaming rig. If I`m mistaken in this decision please let me know.)

Hello fenriswolf616;

Can you get the model number of that Enermax 600W PSU for us?

You would not notice the performance difference between that WD RE4 250GB $70 and the WD Caviar Blue 500GB @ $40. In a budget build - take the WD Blue 500GB HDD.

ASUS M4A79XTD EVO AM3 790X @ $109 a/r vs ASRock 870 EXTREME3 AM3 870 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard @ $90 Compare the features and also compare the customer Feedback from people who bought and own those boards.
