When you swap out new parts especially a CPU you definitely want to reinstall the OS just to be sure you don't encounter other weird issues later. Reseting should work I think either way it gives the option to keep your files. It creates a Window.OLD file and you just move your files to the new...

Have you cleaned your PC of dust? I remember having random slow downs long ago it was due to dust build up. Check temps and make sure all the fans are running as they should. Wouldn't hurt to try Windows 10 it might fix the issue.

Why on earth would you buy a SSD just to move games there? Lol It's better to use it for the OS it runs A LOT faster and more stable. I didn't upgrade to Windows 7 until I got a SSD because performance was abysmal. Some games do require an SSD to run better like open world games GTA 5. It runs...
