    I've got a HP Vectra computer with P3 at the mo, the case is ATX with a 300W power supply. I'm currently ordering new parts from Komplett for my system, P4 3.0GHz pc800 processor, Asus P4c800 motherboard and 1GB DDR RAM. Will the case that i've got be sufficent or will i need to upgrade that as well?

    Cheers
    ki

    Dont know about the case but that psu might be a bit under powered for that new kit

    Might want to get a 380-400 watt psu

    As far as i know all atx cases should work fine with all atx motheboards :dunno:

    u'll probably need a new case then.

    HP's were usually custom builds, so probably wouldn't fit the new motherboard at all.

    A chieftec with 360w psu would probably do grand
