Hi,
I need your help. I m using a HP Pavilion computer. I want to build a new pc under $500.
Now I am using :P4 - 1.5ghz,768mb ram,Nvidia Tnt2 M64 video card ( 32mb ram ),2 IDE100 hard drives,Asus mother board.
I wan to build :
Amd 2800+ $132
Thermal Right SLK-947U with fan $57
Asus A7N8X Deluxe nForce2 - $110
Kingston KVR400X64C25/512 ---------$92
512MB DDR400 PC3200
Asus 52x CD-Rom $20
Sony 52x24x52 CD-R/CD-RW IDE $41
Pc Case - Stryker Windowed ATX Mid-Tower Computer Case with 350W
with 4 fans $63
Total : $515

Can I use my old IDE100 (40 pin) hard drive with Asus A7N8X Deluxe mobo? I will buy a new video card next year. I want to know, is this pc will perform better than my P4 hp pavilion in video editing and other stuff? Please give me some advice.Thanks.
