Hi everyone,
I'm considering an upgrade of my 4 years old Asus H110M-E (Intel Core i5 6400) motherboard to newer AMD B550 motherboard (Planning to put unreleased Ryzen 7 5800x). But I have several questions I want to ask,
1. I heard that if you replace the motherboard, all your software's license will just be invalid ? I have most of the stuff or old games that have DRM like activation per PC or serial number game (but all those game were bought in Steam). I even afraid that I had to buy another Windows 10 license again (I already activated with Microsoft account).
Now, if I change the motherboard and the processor, will it affect Windows or any other software inside the storage ?
2. I also planning to buy RTX 3060Ti (which still unreleased), but I currently have Thermaltake TR2 450W PSU. Is it gonna be okay with it or I should change the PSU as well. If I need to change the PSU, is Corsair CX550M enough ?
(My planned specs are these : Ryzen 7 5800x | RTX3060Ti | 32GB DDR4 | Asus B550M-A Prime)
3. I'm currently own 16GB DDR4 ram sticks, so if I buy another 32GB DDR4 sticks (16x2), will it run fine ? Both will probably same brand (Corsair Vengeance 2666)
4. How much my old PC is worth to sell it all (except HDD and case) second hand ? All of them are 4 years old, except the PSU (PSU was 2 years old)
Old PC Specs : Asus H110M-E M.2 | Intel Core i5 6400 | GTX1050Ti | 16GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance | Thermaltake TR2 450W
That's all I have to question,
Thanks for the answers and have a good day !
