Hello guys, I Have been out the loop for a while for hardware as my pc been running fine for a while. So i need your guys help. I’m thinking of building a new system I have put a spec below, the reason for upgrade is my screen is failing (screen burn), want a new case as the thermeltake is making some weird vibration noises. I’m not sure to take some parts out of my old pc, such as Powersupply? sound card? even the graphics card as i don’t do much gaming.
Main usage of my PC is,
Encoding dvds
Watching Videos
Music
General use
Some games now and again, but its not a big thing for me anymore
But would like something fast, and a really nice screen, and allot of usb connections
