Upgrading old system advice

[Laurencia7]

Hey guys,
I know this is Mac territory but I am trying to get my mother and myself a new pc for certain tasks.

I saw this deal online, and figured I could take some parts that I upgraded from my old pc and put them into this, but can you tell me if this will be hard adjustment?
Barebones kit

I am very tech savvy, but never installed a processor before and am wondering if my old cords and etc will fit in this case. The old unit is a Gateway, but they may have changed things.

Would I be better off, just letting the old pc go at a flat rate, even though it has some great peripherals in it, or buying this pc
Dell PC

Please let me know, so I can get the items before they run out of stock.
The main uses for the pc maybe a little video manipulation, web browsing, dvd video...and music.

Thanks
L

it's old,

bought in March 2001
Gateway Intel Pent 3
was Windows ME, I upgraded the OS to XP Pro.
Mostly upgraded all the original peripherals, except the Video card, and the TV Tuner card (use a lot) There is a new sound card, new dvd/rw roms,
and new memory.

It works fine just very slow, since the motherboard and processor weren't meant to handle XP, and etc.

Based on your current specs you would need to get a new processor and memory to work with the barebones kit. I do not believe the Pentium 3 will work with socket 775. Also, your current memory is DDR. I am pretty sure that will not work with the newer mobo.

What is your budget for this build?

 

[Laurencia7]

My budget is around 150$ at max.

I figured, my old memory won't fit this kit?
what about peripherals?
