Hi all,

My friend is looking at building a new pc. As being a student he only has £400 to spend.

He has a dell, which is so out of fashion.
Dell specs
Single core pentium 4 2.8ghz
600w PSU (not sure what make, just a dell one he said)
Old Dell case
500GB samsung F3 HDD (updated last year)
9800GT (updated last yr)
1GB DDR2 RAM
DVD drive IDE

He uses his rig for Wow but wants to play Bad company 2.

He has xp but would like windows 7 which were students so get the update pack for about £35
He also has keyboard, mouse and a monitor. Dunno what res his got but its a LCD 4:3 monitor about 19"

I know the budget is tight so we will reuse the HDD n PSU. Is it possible to reuse the Dell case, graphics card and the IDE DVD drive?
