If you're getting a new motherboard, CPU, and RAM...that IS a new PC.
Just get a new case to go with it, and a new PSU as well.
i know but i want to know if there is a motherboard that can fit into this case and the i dont want to buy new PSU because it is already hase 800 w PSU

guid me if i can do this or not.

  1. What is the large black thing at bottom left?
  2. Are the front panel controls standard ATX, or proprietary HP?
  3. Is the 800w PSU new or original? What make/model is it?
  4. That case looks to have pretty bad airflow.

Its a 13 year old HP box. In the context of new motherboard/ram/cpu...a new case adds maybe $40-$50.

3. HP original and it has 6 pin connector for powering the GPU that's why i dont want to waste it.
