Thread Starter

I currently have a gigabyte am3 motherboard as well as a quad core phenom 840 with a stock hsf and 4 gigs of ddr3 ram@ 667 mhz. I am going to change the motherboard, CPU, Ram, and install a corsair h60 liquid cooler, and according to all my friends since I am goin to keep my 500gb western digital harddrive, I do not need to reinstall windows.

I also cant really buy another windows 7 ultimate n disk...

You really are better off re-installing windows after your upgrade. Especially the mobo. Even if you stayed with another AMD mobo. I would re-install windows.
