any suggestions or infomation will be greatly impreciatedbumb(wanna be top)Well, I will give it a try. First of all I have taken apart and rebuilt minicomputers, but I have not done too well trained order parts and build something completely from scratch. There are just too MANY things that go wrong.
Here's the best advice I think I could give. Use a set of components that somebody else has already tried and proven to work. When you do high-performance high in stuff that gets to be an issue with compatibility. One of the problems is the power supply, you really have to be sure the power supply is appropriate for the equipment you have chosen.
Also, do you have some spare parts on hand for testing? Do the have the appropriate kind of tools? It's important to have very good quality hand tools for putting together the new machine. You make a slip with a screwdriver and you could scratch something very bad. If it was part of the motherboard, you're in deep trouble. So make sure the tools you have are the right kind for the job.
Also, if you run into something you don't UNDERSTAND, ask first before you turn on the power. Although commercial mass-produced computers have lots of safeguards built-in, that may not be true with a custom do-it-yourself computer. You hook up the wrong wire to the wrong place or if you forget something you could have bad results.
Yes, I know this sounds rather pessimistic. But I'm trying to help. You need to be prepared for something you didn't expect. Be very CAREFUL when handling the motherboard.
Hope you do  a good job. Quote from: Geek-9pm on October 19, 2016, 11:43:38 PM

Unfortunately the RAM, case and PSU From the old PC won't work.  A new motherboard like that requires DDR3 RAM (or DDR4 on some of the new Intel boards) whereas your RAM is older DDR2 RAM.  The case also won't work without modification, at the very least you would have to cut out the I/O shield at the back as it is not removable and you'd need to be careful with checking where the screw mounting posts are to see if you can fit a board - Given the cost of cases it's probably best just to get a new one.  The power supply is a solid unit but it doesn't have the standard 4 or 8 pin EPS connector that a regular motherboard takes, it instead has a much larger 20 pin EPS connector due to the previous motherboard being dual CPU.  This is again something you could modify yourself although it's probably more hassle than it's worth.
