I have a eMachines and its a pretty good comp, but not much room to expand in it. So what i was thinking was buying a new case, motherboard, power supply, and video card. Then everything else like memory, HDD, and all i will just put in the new comp from my old. That will work right? Spec for my current comp are:

Hi Aukake

Sorry for the delay in you receiving a reply, a couple of pointers for you regarding your Ram and Windows 7;

For the best and most stable performance you should where possible purchase a CPU and Ram that have been tested and approved by the motherboard manufacturer, this is referred to as the QVL ( qualified vendors list ) understand though that there are too many products released for them all to be tested so other hardware will be compatible but not proven to be.

Your CPU is on the MBs QVL but can you post the brand and spec of your Ram so we can see if it is on the QVL.

Just a cautionary note, unless your OS disk is the full retail edition you cannot use it with a new MB as an OEM disk is tied to the original MB it was paired with, to use an OEM disk with a new MB is software piracy and therefore illegal.
Exceptions to the above are 1: If your MB is replaced under warranty and 2: If your MB is replaced out of warranty with an alternative type but same brand due to the original model no longer being available, an upgraded MB however will require the purchase of a new OS licence.
