Currently I have an alienware x51, and due to it's small size it is very limited on upgrade options. So I'm going to move all of the components into a bigger case. With the exception of the mother board, gpu, and psu. So, I wanted to make sure everything will work together.

Here is what the finished build will have:

CPU: Intel Core i5 4430 (LGA 1150)

Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157387

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151096

GPU: Gtx 770 (haven't decided specific one yet)

Case:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811124156&clickid=3KHXDjTMf2dRxHkwvhz%3Au3YnUkTwYGTNLV7vVQ0&iradid=97618&ircid=2106&irpid=79301&nm_mc=AFC-IR&cm_mmc=AFC-IR-_-na-_-na-_-na

Memory: 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1600Mhz

HDD: 1TB SATA

Optical Drive: Slot-Loading Dual Layer Blu-ray Reader

Operating system: Windows 8.1

One more thing (I'm a noob at building computers) if I used the same hard drive, but a different mother board, would Windows 8.1 carry over?
