Aye no problem.

For the mobo, the ones hipped recently are PIIx6 compatible, but I read there are a few of them out there which still needs BIOS updates or it won't support x6's out of the box.

Others to consider:

Nice case. It has excellent cooling

Btw, if you want to reuse some of your components, you can reuse your DVD drive and hard drive. You can reuse your PSU, but I suggest getting the new one I listed above since prebuilt PCs usually have weak PSUs.

You can reuse your DDR2 if you pick out an AM3 motherboard that supports DDR2, which will save you another hundred dollars or so.

Of course, you can also just sell your DDR2 and other parts on ebay, etc

I knew I need to update my bios so I decided go withAMD Phenom II X4 955 or just upgrade my old pc.
