What size monitor do you have?
I add the link for thief benchmark, you can try to set the same setting to see what you get. And if you switch the new MB, you are better to reinstall the OS, but you don't have to do it if the PC can boot.

Your best bet is to reinstall a fresh version of windows 7, The reason for this is because all of your old Motherboard and other components drivers are installed from before, A new installation will give you all of your new motherboards Drivers and any other components you have.

First off if the Windows in it is from a OEM (Dell, Acer, etc.) then NO, before Windows 8, all Windows bought 'with a PC' was tied ONLY to that PC, and you can't change the Mobo/CPu even changing the case would cause Windows no longer to load.

Second if you have a current system and you 'adding' this old HDD to the current system NO the games/apps will not work right because they need to be reinstalled, there is little parts all over the 'C Drive' you can't find/see, and trying to just 'run it' will cause it to break one way or another. You would need to reinstall the application from scratch.

Third if you have a current PC and you have this old HDD, you can disconnect the current HDD (IF this isn't a OEM Windows as noted above) plug in (no need to mount it or anythign) the old drive, connect a ext HDD, then in the Old Windows run Windows Easy Transfer to the save to the ext hdd and save your data. When you disconnect the old drive and reconnect the new HDD, in the new Windows and run Windows Easy Transfer to 'restore' your stuff, it will over write over the New HDD saved settings, so you MAY lose things or way things are set on your New PC.
