I have a Dell E521 with an Athlon XP 4200+ and a geforce 8600 GT, and I want to build a new computer, but use some of the parts from my dell. Is this possible?
I know I will need a new motherboard, case, and probably RAM, as well as probably a new PSU, but is it practical to move my processor, dvd burner and hard drive to a new machine?
I was looking at this motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16813128014
and this case:

This would be my first large scale build where I actually have something to lose.
Thanks
