thanks Happyrock!...Well,everything is switched over,and seems to be working.I did get a fright though when powering on the first time,it went off straight away as if it went into sleep mode.I thought I had goosed the MOBO but when powering on the 2nd time everything seems to be fine so far.I had an issue where there were alot more removable drives showing in my computer but this was to do with my internal card reader.Everything seems ok,so I am gonna have a read about how to install the graphics card.

Hi....At last,I have everything installed!I just want to thank both SpyderTurbo007 and HappRock,many thanks to you guys for being so patient and answering all of my questions.I am hoping to get an HDMI cable soon and hook that up to the graphics card,so fingers crossed there will be no issues!Once again I really appreciate all of the help! :) :) ;) :) :)

Hi HappyRock,Everything seems fine...no marks in device manager Although according to Add/Remove Programs I have 1300mb worth of NVIDIA drivers!(I had problems uninstalling these...I ended up using revo uninstaller on it but still got left with 1300mb in Add/Remove)As everything is working with the new drivers I am not gonna mess around with the old NVIDIA ones.I had to keep a couple of NVIDIA drivers like ethernet and another two that I can't remember using the CD that came with the MOBO.I am really pleased with the new case,It is slightly louder than my old one but I have 4 fans now instead of two.In the future I am going to add a BD-Rom instead of another DVD writer and maybe upgrade my processor,I currently have a E2180 2ghz dual core and would like to maybe go to a 2.8 core 2 duo.Again,thanks for taking the time to help out! :)

Glad that we could help. Thanks to happyrock for helping with the video card aspect. I guess I have to do a little more reading about video cards. :)
