Upgrading!

I mostly have onboard stuff because I bought my computer at bestbuy :'D

ok so, i realized...after a year of having this computer, that it is possible to make your bought computer better!!!

I was younger back then and didn't know anything about computers/hardware but now I do.
So I live happily ever after.

OK. Now to the stuff.

My mobo:

I'm really mad at HP because I'm assuming they don't like people messing with their hardware :'D

Ok. I'm probably gonna get this processor:

What heatsink/fan should i get?




And two this memory: http://tinyurl.com/2kaadf

would that memory work? (just asking for confirmation, really)

JUST BECAUSE HP MAKES IT HARD FOR ME TO FIND COMPATIBLE STUFF. smack HP in the face.


Now.. the big one. I'm looking for a GOOD video card, for gaming.
Somewhere on that mobo specs, it says micro ATX size form.
Does this mean the PSU has to be a micro ATX?


WITH THAT SAID; i'm probably upgrading my PSU to something better too.
any suggestions for PSU and video card?


would this sound card work with my mobo? :

thanks in advance for the help =)

If you copied them from your other thread, they usually do not work. The forums truncate long URLs. Use Copy Shortcut in the future.
