Evening folks, apologies if wrong forum...

Bassically my PC is deceased and I dont have the skills to replace an old, unsupported mobo and dead intel dual core cpu. So i was thinking of purchasing this system- Novatech Barebone Bundle, and using my existing hard drives, network card and sound card from the dead desktop and adding a new graphics card also, i do have an old one but it's slightly aged :) -AGP 530T

The system will only be used for paying bills, general mooching around the net and firing up Photoshop for low res icon design (250x250px maximum) from time to time.

My question is would this be enough for above or are there better alternatives?

Regards.

This system will do what you want just fine.
Also, you don't need to transfer the network card, sound card, and video card from your old system.
You also don't need to buy a new video card as it has it built in.
Just throw in your hard drives and go lol

Haha, Thanks. I thought that if i added dedicated cards it would help the system run smoother, especially as they'll only be sitting gathering dust.
