My machine of 3 years has just passed away. I think the psu has gone nothing happens when i hit the power button. I have a spare PSU but atm i cant be bothered to fit it in.

Can someone point out a compareable machine to the following.

E6600 Intel Chip
2gb Ram
Radeon HD 3850 Ati 512mb

As long as it runs WoW, COD4 ill be happy.

I have the outer bits (monitor etc)

If you could advise asap id be happy.

Am I reading this correctly? You want to build a new machine but you can't be bothered to see if your existing one would work with a change of PSU?

//edit would you re-use any parts from your existing machine in a new build?
