I bought my computer last year and now have enough money to change my mother board, power supply, graphics card and case.

I am going from an MSI B35M-P33 to an Asus Maximus VII Ranger intel z97. From a random 500W PSU to a Corsair RM series 850W PSU. An AMD Radeon R7 260X to a AMD Radeon R9 280. And finally a Cooler Master Elite 431 Plus to a Corsair Vengeance C70 case.

Im fairly sure the only one that will effect my OS is the mother board change, but once I change all of these components, will I have to reinstall windows (I am currently running Windows 7 64 bit Home premium)? And if so, will it wipe my hard drive? and if it does wipe my hared drive, Will I be able to get my Bull guard anti virus and Microsoft office back?

please keep in mind I'm keeping the same HDD.

I know im asking a lot of questions but there is a lot of miss-information so if any one is able to help me i would be very grateful.

Thank you in advance.
