Your post should be in -- Other PC hardware -- just click Report an offensive post on your own post and ask politely that a moderator moves you !

Well heres the deal , I modded my xbox (Externally) and loved it , So i know the basics of what to expect in the interior of a PC , Because a xbox is basically a PC , And + i have added RAM to my machine , so im ok with that. But i want to go further then that now , I want a total uprgade of HW and a new case etc.

So just some general questions that have been chopping away at my brain.

Is there any point changing MB ?

Does the case i buy need to be compatable with the current MB so it fits ?

Does the MB come with a CPU ? Intel , AMD etc , and what ones are best to get !

Thankyou :D

I look forward to starting

Depends on where you are at and how much you want to spend.
Putting the hardware together is usually the easy part if you have proper instructions. Installing all the software, getting everything to work together, and lining up the right deal is the hard part.
