I'd like upgrade a lot. I just have some concerns.
At the moment:
Processor: AMD FX-4100 Quad-Core
Mobo: MSI 760 GM-P34(FX) (MS-7641)
Graphics card: MSI GTX 970
Ram: 8gb
PSU: 600w
OS: Windows 8
For new upgrades though I'd like to get an Intel i5-4690k. I just don't know what mobo would be compatable with that. Plus I'd like new Ram (probably 16gb) and I'd need a PSU also.
But my main concern lies in the fact of getting a now mobo. Do I need a windows disk. Because I bought my computer pre-assembled so it didn't come with a disk (I have a license key on my computer). Is windows installed onto my HDD so it doesn't matter what I do to my mobo?
Just need a little bit of guidance towards the right parts, and how to approach the windows problem.
