Well i got my parts in and have it all set up. but rather than putting the old pc in the closet....wondering if i could get the following parts out and use them for additional power:

ATI Radeon HD 4200
wireless lan 802.11b/g/n
4gb ddr3 (else unknown)
Maybe even grab some of the case fans and others?
Also a friend gave me a intel I5 Cpu cooler fan. Could i incorperate that somewhere else?


While waiting for reply i'll go ahead and take my hp pavillion p6710f PC No.Bv530AA#ABA
and see what kind of ram it has and ask if it is compatible to add to the new pc

This is my new pc sitting waiting to be plugged up.

Also real quick....I heard i could burn up the motherboard if i screw it into something too close or coming into contact with a screw or something. any thoughts on that

ddr3 is not compatible with ddr4, the parts from your old pc are not good. The i5 cpu cooler is not needed since you bought the Cryorig H7. Just make sure you dont leave loose screws in your case and you should have no problems. Always ground your self with the case or power supply.
