If you care about your files, you really should have a backup of them. Something may go wrong at any time.
Changing the CPU alone does nothing to your files, since they reside on your hard drive. You still should have a backup, just in case.

1. If you change only the CPU, you're probably fine.
2. If you're going to a new motherboard as well, all bets are off.
3. You really, really, really need a full backup routine anyway.
So, what are your full system specs (incl what OS), and what CPU are you considering changing to?
