I currently have a dell inspiron 660s and I want to use the ram, and hard drive in it and get new parts. here are my questions:
1.) On CPU-z it says that i have 6 gb, and that I have 2 sticks, and that its ddr3, and the dram frequency is 665.4. But that x2 is not 1333, its about 1330. The motherboard I plan to get is a MSI 760GMA-P34(FX) micro atx mobo that supports 1600, 1333, 1066, 1866 (and it also says oc. whatever that means). can I use the ram I have now or does it not work with the mobo?

2.)Is there a way to see how many watts your pc is consuming?
3.) When will you find the best sales. Christmas time? Cyber Monday? black Friday? and if so, what are there usually sales on?
4.) does the AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor have hyper-threading? are there any cheaper options that have hyper threading but still good?
5.) when I switch motherboard and CPU but keep the same hard drive, will I still have windows? or there something I need to do to keep windows? or do I just need to buy windows again. and will the HDD in the Dell inspiron 660s fit/ work with another motherboard and stuff?
I think that those are my only questions. I will be putting this PC together in December. Please try to answer any of the questions that I have. I'm just kinda scared because usually when I do stuff like this I end up breaking something or screwing up, so this time I'm trying my best to be sure that this PC will work without having to deal with a pc that doesn't work. Last time I bought a really old and bad GPU and put it in the screen wouldn't turn on. I'm very exited! Thanks a lot for any help!
