Post by: kippaa on May 31, 2015, 12:05:01 AM

i recently got my hands on a HP Compaq 6000 Pro microtower. anyway, thereisnt much to talk aabout inside right now, but i have an oppurtunity to get my hands on a few parts. im just not sure if they will fit/or work on the board or which would be the best way to go. i plan on using it for gaming, specifically- WOW, COD. not trying to make aa super awesome pc, just pretty good. that being said, heres the parts im thinking about getting.
not real sure if this will even work on that board.

 not sure about this ram, all i know is that the pc does run ddr3, just not sure if this is compatable .
 Corsair Vengeance 8gb ddr3 ram BRAND NEW! - $60
 and finally theres these 3 video cards. all 3 seem pretty cool, but if im gonna get 1, then i want to be happy with it.

HP Compaq 6000 Pro.
Huh? Is that a Intel machine?
Dis you  say you want to put a AMD chip in it?
Was this machine made in 2009? When
Intel Core 2 Duo  8600 is given in specs. Right?

I really don't know much about this. But I do not think a CPU upgrade is worthwhile.  Here is way. The machine is old and it was great in its time. Be sanitized with what  you have.

Geek is right. This is an Intel board. So no AMD processor will fit. These 5 to 7 year old ex-office PCs are very cheap, but not worth upgrading.
