[QUOTE="ryan20021982, post: 399762, member: 78143"] I think it all depends on what you will be playing, if its just divx and xvid videos then it would be fine, I'm not sure what that video card can handle, but if you want to venture into HD then I would just start with a fresh mobo and cpu. But you could use some stuff from that pc like the drives and the hdd for the OS if you wanted it seperate, which I prefer. I would get something with either Nvidia GeForce 8200 or ATI Radeon HD 3200 or better. And an AMD 4850e or 5050e, but thats personal opinion. That way down the road if you wanted to play HD and dont know there is no need to upgrade and you can always add a Blu-ray drive also later and be ready and not have to upgrade then. Personally I like to be set for down the road. [/QUOTE]
