HI All
I'm planning on building a new systems but will be using some bits from my old system so is this a new build?
I will be buying a new case, but keeping my 1000w OCZ PSU, New MOBO with new RAM but would like to keep the P4 651 for the moment, until I can afford a good Quad core. I need a new GPU as my old one is AGP. I have a 250Gb SATAII & LG DVD RAM but would like IDE support for 2 devices.
I will use my current XP installation so No need for OS.
Here's the rub! I play Fallout3, Oblivion NWN2 & Freelancer on pretty high setting with my X1950 PRO & OC'd P4 so would be looking for a marked improvement on that.
The main reason for the new build is my RAM seems to be reaching the end of it's life & the SATA cables on my SATA drives keep falling out so any thoughts on GOOD SATA cables/sockets would score brownie points.
Thanks in advance.
