What can i reuse?
I'm thinking about building my computer for the first time. I want it to be good, specifically for gaming, but I'd rather not spend too much on it. I have two computers, one maybe 3 years old and one closer to 5. Id prefer to keep the newer one intact. I was wondering what parts I could use from my older computer (besides the obvious mouse, keyboard, speakers). I might buy a new case but I'm not sure. Any other advice is welcome. Thanks
edit: forgot to mention I would like to run a pretty nice video card, Geforce 9800 GT preferably, so that would also affect the psu I would need. None of the psu's in either of my two computers have enough power to run a high quality video card. second edit: Also considered just upgrading my dell Optiplex GX620 (the one thats about 3 years old). Can I just upgrade the psu and the video card, or will they still not function to their best due to other older parts of the computer? Last edited by Eagles358; 02-10-2009 at 04:33 PM. |

Depending on the parts, you might be able to keep the dvd drive, and hard drive.
