3. power supply most likely you can but knowing hp crap its a shitty power supply
4.yes you can transfer over the dvd drive

Yeah I realized the RAM is DDR2 and now all the new motherboards have DDR3 slots.
Would I be able to fit the old DDR2 ram into the new mobo with DDr3 slots?
Also as you guys can tell I'm pretty noob at computers but know the basics, and I'm not going for the ultimate gaming rig, since the most intensive game played would be counterstrike source, and would use it to watch movies
...
So what I'm thinking is build a new computer...transfer over the hard drive, dvd reader/writer, and maybe the power supply. Buy a new mobo, RAM, graphics card, case and processor, heatsink.
How does this case look:
Zalman Z9 Plus ATX Mid Tower Case Black 3X5.25 1X3.5 5X3.5INT No PS w/ Fan Controller & Temp Display
any other comparables within the price range?
It can fit a ATX or m-atx mobo.
This leads me to ask:
motherboards, what are the major differences between them. For example:
ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AMD970/SB950 ATX AM3+ DDR3 2PCI-E16 2PCI-E1 SATA3 USB3.0 CrossFireX Motherboard
versus
ASUS P8Z77-V Lk ATX LGA1155 Z77 DDR3 3PCI-E16 2PCI-E1 2PCI SATA3 SLI DVI HDMI DP USB3.0 Motherboard
To me the difference looks to be that one has integrated graphics while the other does not? O an the more expensive one is geared towards fitting Intel processors vs. the cheaper one, AMD processors.
Also would I need to worry about graphics cards fitting or are they usually a standard size?
In regards to processors I'm leaning towards Intel but don't know which one would be best towards my needs
Finally BELOUD help me
