Hey guys,My uncle needs to upgrade really bad and i can take his old parts out like HDD Optical drive and PSU also the case.

He's using a pentium 3 atm so all i would need is a new CPU,Heatsink,Mobo and Ram.

It would be used for browsing and playing CaC. Many Thanks in advance.

Really need to know what the makes and mdels of the case and PSU, this will help us determine the cooler size.

Does he want to overclock?

If the PSU is the same age as the pentium then you'll almost certainly need either a new PSU or a 20pin - 24pin adapter cable as the old ones only had a 20 pin ATX connector. Motherboards now require 24pin
