Answer» Hi all, I need to replace my current motherboard with one that has an AGP slot or a PCI E 16x slot.. This is my current computer...

So I'm guessing I need a mobo thats compatible with.. -Pentium 4 -PC3200 DDR2 ram -socket ?
I also probably will need a new case and PSU, around 400 watts.. Can anyone reccomend me with any mobos from Newegg? I'm horrible at this type of stuff..Are you going to assemble this or are we? I'll read up on stuff on now to assemble, I'll probably try it on my other older computer and see what goes where, but I needed someone to pick out some possible motherboards that are compliant with the specs of my current computer..Pay hp website a visit for upgrading......i hate it when pcs byte the dust....I don't think it died Merlin, they were just too stingy to put an AGP slot in it. How OLD is it TN2COOL, not that old surely?It's actually very good, the only thing is lacking is a PCI E or AGP slot.. I was planning to scrap the processor and hard DRIVE, cd DRIVES, and ram to a new motherboard and case.
The processor is 3.0 ghz (prescott) and my ram is PC3200 DDR2 ram (I'm assuming its a good type of ram, due to the "2" being after the DDR. my hard drive is a 200 gig, so thats GREAT also..
I was looking at some motherboards that seem compliant with what I have, I'll post some links later...
So is it hard if I were to TRANSFER that stuff over? Am I missing anything important here?I have been more than happy with my Asus mobo. *just saying* BTW, get a quality PSU, not a no-name crappy one.What specs Fed?Mine is a P4P800 Deluxe, a couple of years old now.

Still looking for case and motherboard.. Regarding the case, should I get one with 3 120mm fans or just one?
Oh and what brand names are good with PSUs?The only case fan I have is the integral PSU fan. My PSU is an Antec TruePower 430 Watt. If you have the space get a large case even if you have no intention of using the spare bays. It's much better for heat reduction.
