OK

Heres the thing, I got a new empty case, which either 1.) I want to put all my parts that are in my dell case into the new case, or 2.) Leave everything in the Dell and Start over getting new parts for the empty case.

Heres my parts in the Dell Dimension 4700:
Windows XP Home Edition,
Stock motherboard that comes with Dell 4700 with Intel Pentium 4 HT 3.0 GHz
upgrade to 2GB RAM
upgraded to a 16x DVD burner
upgraded to a 600W power supply
upgraded to the ATI Radeon X1900XT

If I do get new parts to put in the new case I would go with an AMD processor and everything compatible with AMD, xfx, nVidia etc... I would go with a 18x or 20x dvd burner, new ram, and I would also get Vista.

So... it's either move everything from dell case to new case or start building a new with new case and then I would have 2 computers

What do you think?
What are your opinons? and your advice will be much appretiated
also any advice on which parts to get if i start that new build

Oh and was wondering if the xfx nForce motherboard was any good?

THANKS So MUCh in advance!

Why stick with 1 if you can have two. Besides picking out parts for a new build is half of the fun.
