Hi Guys,
I have my Current PC and it performs pretty well but the CPU, Mobo and RAM could do with updating.
Specs
OS Windows 7 64 bit
AMD Phenom II x4 2.8Ghz
Mobo - Unknown - was a dell inspiron model
8GB RAM only 1033Mhz though
GPU Sapphire 6950 2GB
PSU Corsair 650W
1TB HDD
DVD/Rewrite optical drive
Now I am planning on buying the bundle below
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-169-OE&groupid=43&catid=2512&subcat=2683
I know PC's quite well but have never built one. I've only ever moved my PC into a larger case and installed the Graphics Card, so am a little apprehensive doing this but want to do it and get it right instead of buying an entirely new PC.
I plan to keep the HDD, optical drive, PSU, (probably will uprage GPU to 280X or 290X).
I am looking for the best guide available to do this.
and most importantly when i reconnect the HDD to the new Motherboard will i have to install a new version of Windows 7 64bit which is £74. I've heard Microsoft see a new Mobo as a need for a new license?
Any help is appreciated
