I want to upgrade GF's computer

Hey guys I am just looking on some input. My GF rite now has an HP Pavillion 7935. Its slow and crappy. I just wanna upgrade it to something more efficient. I would like to use the same case as well. Any1 have any reccomendations to a Motherboard/CPU/RAM combo package with integrated audio/video?? At a reasonable price. She is not looking to spend to much.

This is what I am thinking of:

Is this stuff all compatible??

CPU:

Motherboard:

RAM:

Main concern is if the CPU will work with the mobo....

yup

IS this a good combo?

you can get mroe for less money if you overclock

would that mobo fit in the pavillion 7935? the mobo model number is P5267A

doubt it. get a cheap case for $25 shipped and then sell the HP as a full PC.

or donate it to me, I set them up for local scholarship houses here at the university of florida

You'll probably need a new case and power supply. Case because the new mobo probably won't fit, and psu because the new case probably won't accept the hp psu.

What would happen if i install my Windows XP on her machine? Would microsoft CATCH ME? Or is it ok? Also is ther anyway to actually find teh keycode somehow in the system of here version of XP? she doesnt have the XP CD. So I have it but i would just punch in her key code.....

yes, let me look for program. Been years sense i used it. brb.

I found this, have NEVER used it, well just now. I cant find the one i used. I think it had a horse as the file image. I cant remeber.

I just installed and uninstalled. Ima run full scans now and see if it left anything behind. I dont have anything on here to bugger with.

From doing a quick search on google it seems pretty safe. If you are going to reformat and stuff, then no worries i guess eh.
