Hi,
Noob question alert!
I have an old Acer AX3810 Desktop PC. What I want to know is, can I take all of the insides out and put them in to a larger case so I can improve some of the components such as PSU, Graphics Card etc.? As currently I'm very limited due to the small size of the case.
Basically, I want to buy a new case, take out the components from the old PC and put them into the new one with a new PSU so I can add a graphics card. Then upgrade other parts as and when finances allow.
Or would it be better just to start over with all new components and just use the basic stuff from the old PC (hard drive, ram etc.)?
Apologies if this is a ridiculously simple enquiry.
Approximate Purchase Date: ASAP
Budget Range: Hopefully less than £100.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: YouTube Video Editing, Music Production, Web Browsing
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: PSU, Motherboard, Processor
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I'm in UK. Can anyone recommend one?
Location: Milton Keynes, UK
Parts Preferences: N/A
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: I will be running Sony Movie Studio Platinum for video editing and SONAR 8.5 for music.
Why Are You Upgrading: To run my video editing software more smoothly.
Thanks in advance.
