    Default A few new parts

    Hi. Being a poor college student, I haven't been able to keep up with computer parts like I used to. But yesterday I convinced myself it's time to lay down a few bucks so I can play things how I want to again. But, there's a few problems. First, I'm still a poor college student... so I need to do this relatively cheaply. Second, it's been a while since I've priced out parts, and I haven't been following the news. So, after some preliminary research, I came up with this plan.

    These are my old parts, of which I want to re-use all I can:
    Lian-Li Case
    OCZ Modstream 450 Watt PSU
    P4C800-E Deluxe Mobo
    P4 2.4C Chip
    1.5 Gigs of OCZ ddr466 (2x256, 2x512) RAM
    PNY 6800GT AGP Video card
    2 Seagate 80Gig Sata HDDs in Raid 0
    Audigy 2 Sound Card
    Plextor DVD burner Optical drive

    Here's the parts I'm thinking about getting:
    Core 2 Duo E6600 Chip
    Gigabyte 965P-DS3 Mobo
    ASUS Radeon X1950 Pro Video Card
    OCZ Platinum XTC REV.2 PC2-6400 RAM

    I plan to re-use the case, PSU, HDDs, Sound card, and optical drive. This way, it all weighs in under $1000 Canadian. Will this work, or am I forgetting something. Also, if anyone's feeling kind/bored... is there any compatibility issues (or better part choices) that should be fixed?

    shouldn't have any issues as long as the power supply is up to scratch, OCZ ones though are normally good so i don't see any problems.
