I Have a HP a220n. Over the past 2 years I upgraded the HD to a 200GB, videocard to an ATI All-in-Wonder, cd-rw drive to a DVD-RW drive, and a few other minor upgrades. Now I'm looking into buying a new computer, but it seems everyhing I want is 1200 or more. Would it be worth it to buy a new case, new mobo, and new processor? I figure I can get away with spending a few hundred that way. Would all the components from the a220n work if i were to do this? I realize i still will need to upgrade other components later, but it seems like this would be functional until i could upgrade the video card and such again. Thanks for any help in advance!

well, what processor do you have,
the video card should be fine, unless you plan to play something like Elder scrols oblivion. other than that, you should be fine.
P>S. It is never bad to have to much memory, or a better mobo.
