So ive been working on this build as i have the avaible money. Im almost complete, i just need a motherboard and cpu. Ive chosen the ASUS Z97-K and I5-4650K as my final parts. One thing that came to mind is "is there a way to keep my current hard drive without performing a complete wipe or having to use another drive?". I've always done complete wipes when doing upgrading the motherboard on other computers. But this time is different, as i am performing the upgrade on my main computer. I dont really mind wiping as i have a 1tb portable hard drive that i can use to transfer my work files and maybe some game saves.
Here is my current setup
GPU: GeForce GTX 970
CPU: AMD FX(tm) - 4100 Quad-Core Processor
Memory: 8.00 GB RAM
Operation system: Windows 7 Home Premium
PSU: Thermaltake TR2 700w
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-M68MT-S2
So i guess my question is: Is their a way to upgrade my motherboard and CPU without having to do a full hard drive wipe?
Thanks for any info!
