Yeah, save the needed files to a removable device and reload them after you have it back together.
If you were staying with an AMD you wouldn't have to worry.

Is your windows OS OEM or retail? You might have to call microsoft to reactivate. They will give you a series of numbers to type in. Have a pen and paper ready in the event you need to call them. I am with some of the other people that have posted. I would back up all my important files, get my software keys ready, and do a fresh install once you install your new motherboard and CPU. I build all my own computers. It is like Lego's for grown-ups. Lol

Thankfully it is retail so I was able to reinstall with only a few problems.

Nice! Are you planning to do some gaming with your new rig? I'm gonna go SSD for my next build too, probably the exact same drive you got.

What graphics card?

What are your total specs?

I have the GeForce GTX 970 for my card, as for the other specs I have no started to overclock anything yet.....still trying to get my fan speeds set but I realize that because they are only 3 pin and not 4, I can't control them with the Corsair software :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Wow...that's the exact same card I'm going for. Fan speeds are a pain. I tried to OC my current rig and it overheats using stock, but I'm too lazy to upgrade it and would rather build a new system.

I really want to go for the 980 but then the wattage for the system I'm building wouldn't work out. And the price would jump by too much. I'm trying to build a low power high performance rig. Going for i5 4690k, 12GB RAM, GTX 970, 250GB SSD, and Asrock Anniversary Edition Z97 mobo. It should be less than 300 watts total. I really just want to play games on ultra settings, but not really the high-end. Mainly just mainstream stuff you find on Steam.

Card prices are falling now though with the new DX 12 cards. I'm thinking of rebuilding for the new cards.

What games do you play?
