I currently have a very old comp (right before I went to college). I'm still in college and finally have some income and will be upgrading my comp. I currently have the following:
CPU: Athlon Thunderbird 1133 mhz
Mobo: Asus A7V-133
RAM: 768 PC133 SDRAM
Video Card: ATI 9700 Pro
HD: WD 20 GB
As you can see, I definitely need an upgrade. I'm thinking about getting the following and will need help determining whether this is all compatible or not. I'm a little behind on the latest technology. FYI: I use my comp for gaming (HL2, WoW, WC3, etc)
CPU: AMD 64 3000+ (Venice core)
Mobo: Epox 9NPA+ Ultra
RAM: CORSAIR ValueSelect 2x512 DDR 400 (PC3200)
Video Card: ATI Radeon X800 XL 256MB PCI Express
Hard Drive: Samsung SpinPoint P Series SP1614C 160GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA150
Optical Drive: NEC Black IDE DVD Burner Model ND-3540A
Case: Cooler Master Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW
Power Supply: ThermalTake TR2 W0070 ATX 430W Power Supply 115/230
Monitor: Samsung 710N-BK Black 17" 12ms LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 600:1 0.264mm
I don't have too much money to spend as tuition keeps going up. I'm hoping to spend no more than $1000. Any advice or comments is welcomed. If this stuff seems appropriate, will they all be compatible? Thanks!
