Decided to go for an i5 3750k from an AMD 8120,will i have to purchase a new win7 key?(current one is OEM)
I've also heard you can call up MS and they can reactivate it,is this true?

Technically yes, as OEM licenses are tied to the motherboard.

Even if you try to call MS like most users do when they are triggered by a hardware change, you wont have a leg to stand on since you are replacing the MB/ Proc

Windows 7 - YES need a new Liecience, Windows 8 - No, you can reuse the OEM Liecence provided it is REMOVED from old MB System.

Added on Win 7 - If the OLD MB dies, then you are able to replace MB (with a newer one) and reuse it.
