Hey Everybody,
I've got a working Celeron 1.7GHz, with 256MB SDRam (2 DDR and 1 SDRAM ports are dead on mobo), nVidia Geforce FX550, and both USB ports dying a slow death. There's a working DVD R/W and CD R/W attached, alongwith and 80GB and a 40GB HDD. Monitor's a 15'' LCD, the Keyboard-Mouse are good too, and so is the SMPS and the ATX cabinet. I've got about 756MB of DDR RAM and 256MB additional SDRam just lying around because of the dead DDR and SDRam ports
It seems the mobo's going down slowly one component at a time; for instance my onboard VGA just conked off one day with no display and some beeps at system startup; switched to the nVidia FX 5500 after that, and it's been working great.
I've been wondering, if it would be possible to use the good/working components from this system to build another system using a new mobo and processor combination. The main uses for the new system would be a) Internet Access (browsing+downloads) & b) Gaming.
I've budgeted about 5K for the upgrade.
Could someone help me with this please? Any guidance would be appreciated.
I was considering checking out some used stuff as well, but couldn't find many good leads from the internet.
I am in Pune, so if you've got any trusty dealers' addresses to share, I'd be really happy with that too.
Thanks in advance for your help and time.
