The Blackangel Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 Is it possible to build a new gaming PC out of an older regular PC and still keep some of the components in order to save money? I have several computers that are fairly old, and I’m wondering if they could offer a head start on the build. A google search didn’t turn up a damn thing answering my question. If this was the Windows 98 era I wouldn’t have to ask. But I haven’t done jack with computers since then except for normal use. You guys are a hell of a lot more educated on this than I am. So I wanted to get it straight from the horse’s mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 The only thing I can say for sure you can use in a new gaming PC build is HDD storage drives. Outside of that, every other component from older times is more or less obsolete. A big reason for that is requirements to run modern games acceptably is significantly higher anything any old PC can perform. It's one of those things that comes with PC gaming unfortunately.

It’s been determined that technology is moving so fast that computers and computer parts are obsolete six months before they hit the market.
