Question about switching from AMD to Intel

[Ryan Kirby]

I am considering switching from an AMD FX 8320 with a MSI 990FXA-GD80V2 Mobo to an Intel i5 4670k with an ASROCK Z77 Extreme4.

If i purchased a
Sandisk 32gb Readycache SSD, reinstalled windows 7 on it with the new hardware, and had my current SSD plugged in without boot priority, would I be fine? Or would I need to format my current SSD that has windows?

I am new to this and could use some advice! Thanks!

if you already have an SSD you do not need the Readycache rig...

So I wouldnt need to format my current SSD that has the WIndows 7 install for my AMD rig?

As long as the current SSD is not set as the primary in the BIOS and not connected to the SATA 0 port and you configure the new SSD to be primary (this is usually jumpers or is set automatically to cable select) and connect it to SATA 0 port and set it in the bios you'll be fine

I believe you might want to go with Z88 platform since 4670k is socket 1150 not 1155 as the Z77 boards.
