I have a Dell Dimension 2400 with Pentium 4 2.66 GHz, 1 GB, 120 GB HDD. I want to upgrade it using AMD Phenom II processor and a Gigabyte Mobo, 4GB RAM and Corsair 400 Watt PSU. I was wondering if anyone has tried such an upgrade and any steps/tips/dos and don'ts they have for such an upgrade. Please advise.

If you're going through that much trouble just buy yourself a better looking case and a better performing hard drive. With all the new components you'll need all new drivers for the m/b chipset, amd processor and lots of other little things here and there. You'd be much better off with a clean install of whatever os you're running, particularly if it is windows.
