So I was planning to replace old betty's parts. Problem is, I usually let the dealer handle that. That said, I looked at the prices of the store I shop in(I say that but it's been 6 years) and found cheap ones that's in budget. Now, I wanna consult this place since I'm too lazy to register at another site just to ask something I won't ask in the near future. Here's the lineup so far:
F1A55-M LX PLUS R2.0 - mobo
INTEL CELERON G1610 - processor
RADEON 5450 - vid card.
Current Parts in my PC:
Core 2 Duo E7500 - processor
P5G41T-M LX3 - mobo
As for the memory, powersupply and hard drives, I was hoping to stick with what I use since my budget's not that big. How am I doing so far? Would this work?

You can't use an Intel CPU (which needs an LGA1155 socket) in a motherboard built for AMD CPUs (it has Socket FM1).
If you *want* Intel, I'd buy at least a Core i3, otherwise you're better off buying AMD, you get a better return on your money in the low end price range.

Seriously? Damn, that was close. Okay so if I can only use AMD then the only thing I can see is that AMD A4-3300. So basically, I'll be switching to purely AMD. Is AMD products better?
Forgot to add: is throwing another hard drive and memory too much of a load for an old powersupply?

First of all, what do you intend your computer to do? Gaming? Simple web-browsing, opening emails?
Second, how much do you intend to spend? With this, and above, in mind, I can give a more specific answer.

Most likely over 6 hours. Actually they handed me an F2A58M-DS2 and said it was better so I took it. Now I'm stuck with OS installation with this raid thingamabob..

the difference between AMD & INTEL isnt that large for normal users, only users who want to start video/image editting are better of with INTEL,
if you only want to do some gaming and interneting, some work, then you can better choose for AMD

things you can recycle:
HDD
DVD burner/reader

For budget id say AMD is a better choice ,
for performance Intel would be the better option.
In real life ,
AMD is lacking in terms of raw power down on the enthusiast's end.
But they make it a very viable option for a consumer with their almost 1:1 ratio of price vs performance .
With intel, you're basically paying for a premium, and some people find the premium worth it.
Plus many people go for intel due to many companies making mobos from their chipsets, giving you, many many many options to tweak with.
I would prefer you to scrap the graphics card and go for a built in Intel graphics . this way you would have possibly less heat in your computer and also increase the upgradability by opening up to many other kinds of processors .
