Hey guys, i'm planning on my first upgrade to an i5 2500k, so will need new motherboard and all that. Also getting new HDD to install OS on.
I'll be coming from XP 32bit which requires a fresh install if im correct.
Now i have already purchased the win7 upgrade version and now wondering how this is all going to work out and if i need the retail instead.
Do i replace all the parts then the OS, or vice versa?
And will upgrade version work if i replace motherboard and keep old hdd and install OS onto the new hdd?
Parts i'm getting:
I5 2500k
p67 mobo
DDR3 RAM
1TB HDD
Thanks for your time.
