I currently have a Dell Dimension 3000 PC. If I buy a new computer case will all of the stuff that it currently in the dell fit in the new case? Also if I get a new MOBO will it fit in both my dell and the other case? Or do you have to get certain MOBOs for certain pc chassis?

if you want to completely overhaul your computer you could purchase a new case and it will fit, but why would you want to do that? Also if you want to upgrade your motherboard let me know what kind of cpu you have.

with how fast technology changes its hard to slowly upgrade. Your CPU is likely outdated, thus any motherboard upgrades you make will still keep you out of date.

I think building a completely new computer from scratch is way more cost-effective than trying to build around an older dell computer. Dell's are pretty restrictive by nature and like JoshBox said, unless the parts are still pretty recent, you won't find much that's compatible and worth the price. There's lots of people here who know bunches about computers so just give us a range to work with and I'm sure we'll be able to figure something out for you.
