Answer»

Hey Homer, I am ready to buy my parts for my Gaming computer build. On the components list I did not see a sound CARD, can I use the one on my old computer? I do not need the DVD burner But want a lg HDD 500gb to 750gb Heres the list you gave me-- heres a components list with a budget of $1500

***ALL PRICES RETRIEVED FROM WWW.NCIX.COM***

Motherboard: EVGA 780i SLI link
CPU: Intel E8400 link
Graphics card: 9800GTX link
RAM: OCZ SLI-Ready DDR2 1066 2Gb (2*1GB sticks) link
HDD: Seagate 250gb 7200 RPM link
Optical DRIVE: LG DVD Burner link
Case: Antec 900 gamer case link
Power Supply: Corsair 620HX link

the evga 780i has integrated sound that can support up to 7.1 surround sound. you can use your sound card from your old comp and disable the integrated sound if you wish, but it depends on what your sound card is. if you know what make/model it is please post it here.

if you would like to purchase a new sound card, i suggest the Xtreme gamer from creative.

But want a lg HDD 500gb to 750gb

i suggest seagate brand HARDDRIVES. they are known to be quite reliable and they have a 5 year warranty.Hey Homer, I ordered a segate 500gb HDD, And My sound card On the old computer Is a Soundmax intregated digital audio.your sound card on your old comp is integrated, meaning it is part of the motherboard and cannot be transferred to the 780i mobo.Ok, Can I use my old version Of windows XP operating system on my new build computer? I have a version of Vista that I bought a while back But I Did not like, maybe with the sp update It will be more stable and run better. ALSO , can you give me some other sound cards that will work with this new build.

you should be able to. there is the odd time that microsoft wont let you activate it because it has already previously been activated on your old build. however, personally ive used my same copy of XP on my old comp and on my new one without a problem.
