Can I do this?

Looking to use the parts listed above and put into the tower of the link below after taking out the current parts that are in it.

Is this possible? Total is around $400 without tower.

thx

The specs looks good for mid-range build. If you are planning to use a dedicated GPU in future or if you already have then I will suggest a 500W PSU. For boot drive use a good SSD like samsung 850 EVO. This might increase your budget by around $120 but the performance gain really worth it.

Cool, but would it fit in the case of the tower like i asked?

 

thx

I dont think you can use that Asus Motherboard in your current HP case.

motherboard's dimensions are:  9.20" W - 7.60" L

HP case: 6.5" W - 14" H

Thx my friend. It looks like a new tower as well then.

Of course it will fit into the tower. A desktop tower is generally comes configured for multiple HDDs. You can look before buying towers. I would suggest to look into Cooler Master and Corsair ranges. Modern towers are familiar with SSDs. Even if they are not, you can buy clamps for the SSDs to fit inside of any incompatible tower. That will cost you as low as $5.

 

Also,  for the selection of RAM, I think your CPU (i5-4440) supports 1600 Mhz frequency out of the box. So you can use a step higher frequency i.e. 1800 Mhz as the chipset generally supports greater frequency than the CPU. So it will be beneficial. Frequency won't make any compatibility issue as long as the configurations are compatible.

Thats a proprietary tower the motherboard in it now was made exclusively for that tower and you could try to line of the dimensions I dont think its going to work the way you want it to your better off buying a new tower..

Yeah, btw the hardware you're buying are a bit old unless you have a good reason for choosing them. honestly I bought a slightly better system 3 years ago from the same generation (Haswell) and right now in 2016 it needs a full upgrade. so what i'm saying is that you can buy the newest generation of that CPU, RAM and MB with the same prices (or a few $ more or less) from market. 

for instance, you can buy this CPU (Skylake gen) for only 5$ more and save more than 15$ each year due to lower power consumption

Can someone tell me if this is all compatible? If something is not, can you replace it with something from amazon that is pretty close to it so it will be compatible.  THX a bunch.

Thx Saeed. someone suggested i purchase DDR3 1600 and 850 watt psu. I am not a gamer or editor. Do u agree with him?

[Ghazi]

@bruinator Better buy a motherboard which supports ddr4 ram as ddr3 era is gone. After 2 years you can upgrade ram and it will be compatible with softwares evolved over time

DDR3 will be around for another 5 to 10 yrs so I am not sure y u say that.

Not true. DRR3 will stop being supported in a year or two. Infact, motherboards with DDR3 might already have been stopped manufacturing by the companies if not now than sooner. DDR3, on top of that, will be more expensive than DDR4 by then.

 

I again say you are choosing a 2 gen ago build. I really think you have no use going for i5 if you do not game or have any editing or encoding work. New gen i3 Skylake, with DDR4 will still be a better choice here. Not only you may save some money, but make it long lasting.

 

Also, if you go for i3, without any external graphics card, then you can run your computer even on a 350W PSU, even calculated to check that.

You are already buying DDR3 1600 RAM, that PSU only comes in handy for you if you're planning to buy a high-end graphic card in the future. but you said you're not a gamer

Rudrax, If it is not too much trouble can you search these again and come out with the cheapest figures I get $600. The only things I did was use amazon for mostly similar prices except a tower which I got from newegg and I added the price for a PSU. I would really appreciate you doing this for me.

This is the latest possible build around your budget. Relying on one online merchant you can not get all the parts at your expected budget. So try looking from all the major vendors available. Also you can visit local retailers. Sometimes their prices are lower than online price. I will do the search for you and see what I get.

The above 4 components will cost you around $375. Now the remainings are PSU and the Cabinet under $75. Look for a cabinet with PSU included. This way the cost will be less. As you are not using a discrete GPU, PSU doesn't need to come with the best specification. Moreover the build is highly power efficient. It will hardly put any thottle one the PSU. Look for brands like Corsair, CoolerMaster, Circle, Thermaltake.

Yep, these two are completely compatible. The motherboard comes with a ATX form factor and the cabinet supports it.

For your current hardwares, a 350W PSU will be enough. A 450W enables the scope of adding a discrete GPU in future. 500W is overkill if you are not a gamer.

Thank you for all you have done. Now I just have to sell my tablet so i can order it.  lol
