Hi,:hihi:

IMO, everything you have right now will work with the new motherboard and CPU. The hardware which I think will work perfect is the RAM, Hard Disk, DVD-drive, GPU and the PSU (may require higher power one, 450W~600W depending on the number GPU you add). Also try adding an SSD.
Though, the existing RAM will work in your next motherboard but go with atleast 8GB DDR3-1600MHz which is the entry level memory for now. If you need any memory recommendation or other info just lemme know.

Btw, do let me know your CPU and mobo you are intending to get.
Good luck with the upgrade!! Cheers, mate!!

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately I've come across a new problem. The version of Windows 8 I have apparently only works on this mobo :??: plus the tiny case on this thing is going to cause me some major cooling issues. I think i'm going to have to buy a new case, processor, gpu, motherboard, a new version of windows, porobably a new psu and I guess I might as well add the ssd too, looks like it's going to be costly haha any suggestions? Do you think it would be worth it to salvage what parts I can or just buy something new? my only real problem is my processor is so extremely weak, and is soldered right on to the motherboard :heink:
