[SOLVED] Switching my motherboard and case but keeping every other part HP pavilion Desktop TG01-2xxx

[Snorre]

Hey, i was wondering if it is possible to do a case swap with a new motherboard but still keeping the other parts in the PC. Can i still use the PSU for example?

psu likely is custom, not standard size, connection

The PSU might be of decent design and manufacture quality but it's also probably specc'd with very close margins to match performance requirements of the system to keep costs down. I'd suggest replacing it if your upgrades are substantial. Modern GPU's, for instance, often want 650W PSU's.

Also, your OS install will probably not work with a motherboard swap.

I have another key.

I have another key.

It isn't the KEY, it is the actual install. You will likely have to do a clean OS install with a motherboard swap.
