I built my last system in 2006 around a
E6400 O/C to 2.7G
GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard
EVGA 512-P2-N573-AR GeForce 7900GTO 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Video Card
2G of Ram
320 GB HD (7200rpm Seagate)
COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW Black Aluminum Bezel , SECC Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
XP system
I've replaced only the PS so it's getting long in the tooth. I'm starting to think about replacing the system but the first question would be what if anything would still be ok for a new system...HD only or is that even a waste, how about the case?
The usage is mainly music (pro tools 8) with some gaming. I am also unsure what if any software I currently have would be usable on a new Window 7 system. I got a lot of help here 6 years ago so I'm back for more
For a new system I'd havent decided yet what to get. I'd like to stay under $1000 but I would probably get a monitor this time since I'm err still using a CRT... hey it still works great. So the 1000 might only cover a build and not the monitor
