I have a friend that wants me to build a PC for him has decided on a AMD CPU. He wants to use some of his old components from a HP PC he purchased in the year 2000, which will include a HP DVD and HP CDRW.
Will I have any problems with these components on a new system build? Also, we will be using the modem from the old HP since he is still on dial-up service. The PC will be mainly for email, Excel, Word, browsing the Internet. But he does play some graphic intensive games at times, such as Splinter Cell and MaxPayne with a PNY GF2MX420 video card at the moment.
I was thinking of buying a Fry's combo of the 2000+/ECS K7VTA, 2200+/ECS K7VTA, or a going with newegg and getting the AMD 2100+ and
Biostar M7NCD mobo. Here's the rest of the parts for the build, please comment.
