Is this Falcon still flight worthy? (Falcon Mach V Q's) - Hardware & Software

Hey, I just inherited a Falcon Mach V from my deceased grandfather :sadface: (he died of complications of Brain and Lung cancer in early march, my Gma is just know giving out possessions) and want to know what parts are worth keeping. I made a topic a day or two ago about building a PC this summer, and this has diverted my original plans. So, I want to know what parts are crap and what parts whoop ass. Here, have an info dump; PSU; Silverstone 600watt modular PSU Mobo; Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe CPU; AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 x2 2600mhz GPU; Dual Nvidia 7900GTX's 512mb PCIe Also, it has a BFG 128MB PHYSx Accelerator RAM; Corsair 1024mb PC3200 x2 Has two 80mm case fans, one additional case fan my grandfather installed, and Sound Dampening. What do you think facepunch? What should I keep and what should I replace? I think RAM and Mobo are obvious, not sure about CPU(yet). -Thanks

sell motherboard, ram, cpu, physx and graphics cards. replace all those except the physx card, they're not really necessary anymore but still sell pretty high.

If you don't have spare cash and want to just use it the way it is, it's already a pretty solid PC for last-gen gaming, and if you sacrificed some visual settings and resolution you could probably play a lot of new games otherwise listen to Buttsex

Motherboard, CPU, and RAM I would sell first. Those graphics cards have a bit of life left in them yet. How much would I get for all of those components?

2 gigabytes of DDR could sell for $50 on Craigslist fairly easily. As for the motherboard and CPU, sell them together on ebay or craigslist for $75. The graphics cards could sell for $30 each or ~$70 together. that PhysX card could fetch you a good $60

no way, you could get a nice MSI 870-G45, a Phenom II X4 955 and 4 GB DDR3 for ~$220

[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;29997356]no way, you could get a nice MSI 870-G45, a Phenom II X4 955 and 4 GB DDR3 for ~$220[/QUOTE] I could just check pricewatch.com for those parts. Thanks for the advice though! I really really can't wait to get this stuff! UPDATE; Yup, checked pricewatch. Nice Asus with Triple PCIe's and an AMD x4 955+4gb of DDR2 is about $318. I just really want a nice Mobo though.

I don't think that PhysX card is worth anywhere near $60 especially since before it went out of production newegg was selling them for $30, and any decent GTX 2**+ GPUs can handle PhysX better than those cards

What do you think I could get total?

Is this an okay motherboard? [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131636[/url] Its a little pricey, but my previous computer taught me the importance of a good mobo. Also, where could I sell those parts for the best parts? Anyone got any good sources? I emailed Falcon, haven't got a response yet.
