Start by telling us what you will be using the new PC for (gaming, encoding, browsing etc) and then give a budget range. That way peeps will be able to more intellegently help you.

You might also look up Mechbgon's Guide to building a PC for noobs (or whatever its called). It an illustrated guide.

umm you got to be more specific in your OP.. give us a usage and budget for the whole system and any parts you have or don?t want.... or you wont get any input

Then again posting this in the right forum would help
