ok first of im really handy and can build/ fix anything well. I am somewhat knowledgeable on some computer specs and details. I would like to build a really nice desktop from an old one.
Budget:
less than $600
Haves:
32in sharp aquos tv (going to use hdmi as my monitor)
Dell desktop 05D481
Needed:
Everything else to make that original desktop awesome.
Here is what i think i would need from newegg:
AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition Thuban 3.3GHz, 3.7GHz Turbo 6 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Six-Core Desktop Processor HDE00ZFBGRBOX ($230)
Western Digital Caviar Green WD20EARS 2TB 64MB Cache
SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive ($80)
ASUS M4A88T-V EVO/USB3 AM3 AMD 880G HDMI USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard ($103)
Mushkin Enhanced Silverline 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model 996770 ($83)
Total in shopping cart $495
I will use this for:
checking email
light gaming
tons of MS office functions
lots of web surfing
Have a lot of music (kinda want more so thats why the hard drive is so large)
Might get netflix (thats why im wanting to use my tv as a monitor)
My questions:
will all this stuff work together?
could I use the old cd drive, graphics card, and case from my old desktop?
do I need additional cooling fans (i think that old desktop has one) ?
anything thats i picked overkill?
Thank You for the help!!!
