Got my system in early 2008 and it has served me well over the years. Now I'm looking to upgrade to a Sandy Bridge + MB combo.
My only concern is the data I have on my HDD.
I'm selling my MB to somebody on here, so it will render the rest of my system useless. I'm going to sell the CPU and RAM later.
My question is, will I need to do a fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit? Or will all I need to do is drop my HDD in the new setup and it will boot up fine?
I'm scared I might lose some very important data, and that's a big no-no. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Last but not least, I need a CPU + MB + RAM to not go over $350....I can POSSIBLY stretch it to $400 if need be.
MY NEEDS:
2500k/2600k
8GB DDR3
P67/Z68 MB
Crossfire/SLI not a concern
Able to support FULL SPEED SATA 6Gb/s SSD based on Sandforce controllers
