I plan to get a better gpu in November.
My main concern is if I order all those new parts and set everything up will everything go along? Thx alot

^ Yes, those parts will go together I dont see any glaring issues,... But why the Win 7 PRO?

Okay I went for the Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM instead. Now since I have Vista 32bit on my 500gb hard drive, If I install Win7 on the new 1TB hard drive and have it boot first I should have no problem with Vista correct?

And regarding the Motherboard, thats really where I am having the hardest time deciding. I really want something that will last me a while for instance. My correct pc is E6750 with Gigabyte p35c which has lasted me 5+years with no problems ever. I was checking the ratings and reading the comments on newegg and this ASROCK mobo is giving me the best confidence hehe.

 

[gkay09]

^ Well its your call on the mobo,...
And Yes you wont have any issues with Vista as at startup, if am not wrong, it should prompt for which OS to select,...

Your ACF7P cooler will not fit the new motherboard. Replace it with a Hiper 212+; about the same price, much higher performance.

 

[fgran4]

Will the hyper 212+ fit in the antec 900 case?

 

[gkay09]

^ Hyper would fit just fine in a 900,...
