Hi
I have recently got a new case for my PC, It has cathodes and a few gadgets, I have also recieved a DVD-RW drive. My question is can I simply upgrade from a 250w PSU to a 500W or will it blow my mother board?
Im running a
P4 1.1GHz PC
512MB RAM
Nvinda 3200 Graphincs card
Two floppy drives
Segate hard drive
Samsung 2nd hard drive
DVD drive
DVD RW drive

will it be OK to go for the 500w PSU? sorry if it seems a silly question. [img]Download Failed (1)[/img]

Also, If I upgrade my motherboard, chip and RAM, can I just use the old hard drives with it, or does everything need to be re-installed?
Id like to go to about 2.00GHz.
Sorry if both seem silly, just sometime the obviuos questions are the ones you cant answer. [img]Download Failed (1)[/img]
