Hey guys,

My first post on the forum :).

I've a desktop pc that my mum had built for me about 4/5years ago whilst i was at school.

I'm looking at building a system in the coming months after I've had my holiday and i was wondering what the chances are that i would be able to re-use the existing case?

If you need any details of the pc just ask and I will try my best. Please bear in mind this would be the first PC I've ever built so going to be a challenge :).

Thanks Simon

Sorry it's the best picture i can take. It's a QDI motherboard?

Well if you could give me a starting point it would be appreciated. I'd be spending £5/600.

Thanks :)
 
Of yeah i definitely want to upgrade from the Pentium 4!

Erm i'd like to spend no more than £600 really.
 
Just a general PC for doing work/excel on and occasion AutoCAD.

I probably will as i can't find my Windows 7 disk!
 
Well I've already a monitor, keyboard etc that I can use. If I could get away with using the case to save some cash it would be good :)
 
Thanks guys, could you give me a starters as how to choose motherboard/processors please?

On another note i manager to overclock the pentium 4 processor in the PC, from 1.7Ghz to 2.1Ghz :). Turns out the PC was built circa 2003 so coming out 9years old!
 
Ok fair enough, don't learn from not asking :). Just looking at other ones, can you get clear side panels for the Xigmatek Asgard II Midi Tower Case?
 
I'm glad you guys are about, I wouldn't have a clue! I will look at building a system together tomorrow and put it on here for you to look at :)
 
 
Just had a thought last night, wouldn't I need a 64-bit copy of windows 7 running to make use of the 8GB ram?
