i have a pc thats almost shut for a year now, im gonna start it tonight and see what all are working.. planning to go matx/mini itx and do a osx build - as a itunes / media server or maybe a windows 10 / download / htpc rig .. gaming is not a priority as i have a xbox one - might get a card later on .. for a driving sim


•Processor = 3570k with stock cooler
•Motherboard = asrock extreme 4
•Chasis / SMPS = 210 nzxt with a hx650 corsair psu
•System Memory= 4gb corsair 1600mhz veangence
Hard Drive= 250 GB SATA laptop drive
DVD Writer - LG - Wish to keep as it is
•Graphics= onboard
no monitor
keyboard - have a k810 logitech bluetooth keyboard + g602 mouse

do let me know ur inputs on how i can upgrade/use this pc for the coming year or so...
wanting to keep it as cheap as possible since im already two generations behind on the cpu race
but it will be plenty enough for me so im good. lol looking fwd to all the inputs

cant keep the nzxt 210 for sure. no space in my room


ps/ i dont know what will work what wont.. as its been shut for over a year these things..
anything i should do/dont before i start?
 
Make sure you give your PC a can of compressed air before you power it up. (my own tradition :) )
If everything is working, then you dont need anything :)
 
i removed everything, cleaned everything up and its up and running!!

ordered a 4gb veangence stick to upgrade to 8gb
