Im wanting to put in a Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor, EVGA GeForce 9600 GSO 1.5GB 192-bit DDR2, Thermaltake TR2 W0070RUC 430W ATX12V V2.2 Intel Core i7 Compliant Dual 80mm Fans Full Cable Sleevings Power Supply(both the PSU and G Card come as a bundle), and taking out the 1gb ram and placing in another 2gb to max out the 4gb it can take.

Now i wasn’t sure if i would be able to place the items in question into the system without damaging anything to having it not work and wasting $300. I’m very new to changing out parts and what not but i would like to have bette performance with online games since i’ve recently become addicted to world of warcrack er craft haha.
