Well i've finallized my opinion and i will rebuild my computer ALMOST from scratch.
I'm keeping the case even though people say just get a new case, don't worry, i'll make sure everything is a okay with air flow and fans.
I'm also keeping my 200GB SATA II 7200 RPM Hard Drive since its still in perfect condition according to S.M.A.R.T.[95% overall for a 2 year old hard drive]
Now i need to make decisions about CPUs and other things.
Intel Pentium Dual-Core E2200 [Only for maybe a year or two and will replace with a good Core 2 Duo or Quad]
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ G2 Revision
Which processor should i go with
For motherboards,
If Intel,
ASUS P5K-VM G33 Chipset mATX
ASUS P5E-VM G35 Chipset mATX
If AMD,
Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H 780G mATX
ASUS M2A-VM HDMI 690G mATX
For Ram, i'll choose whatever is on sale and recommended by the manufacturer of the motherboard
For the Operating System, my cousin will supply Windows Vista Business Genuine for free [GENUINE, from his work place]
For Power Supply, probably a OCZ 500W PSU since its around $45 after MIR for one.
Video card will wait for a bit, at most mid to end of summer.
Also i think i'll be spending around $300 [at most $350] in total [I've calculated] since i don't need to buy an OS
Thanks in advance
