Hey Guys, Question On Building my Own comp

So I could just pop the i7 out of my stock on and put it in that one you linked?

I've never messed around with motherboards or processors, I thought they were the same thing for a while  

How user friendly is the whole process?

Do you gotta install drivers or something for the new MOBO or processor or is it just like a swap and boot up and everything works?

thx for info  

Another thought, what about Ram? does any ram work with that MOBO?

Looks like my memory is only 1333 mhz so would upgrading to like 16gb of 1600 be a lot better? What would be the best kind for this board?  

It surely would be the best to get a 16GB 1600Mhz RAM. Even 8GB would do.

I highly recommend you get these - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

I use them and they're absolutely amazing. Oh and I use the same motherboard  

The installation process and the configuration of the motherboard is VERY simple, don't you worry. Contact me through mail if you need any help in the future!  

Oh and you'll have to install a new OS after you switch your CPU to the new motherboard and everything. Use the CD you get with the motherboard to install the drivers.

i'll have to reinstall Win 7?

Yes sir!

Interesting, I thought your OS is just saved onto your SDD or HDD

I dont have an actual offical windows 7 disc, All I have are these 3 that are the ASUS system restore disks that have windows on them, will those work? or do I need to rebuy windows D:

Yes, you will have to rebuy windows

I was able to extract my 64 bit win 7 key with a key finder, now in theory couldn't I just make a copy of the real windows 7 64 bit CD with an ISO and use that + my key?    

Yes you sure as hell can!   That's what I do alllll the time.

According to the license agreement you must uninstall it from your other pc first, though.

My "Other PC" will be a big pile of parts after i'm done building my new computer haha

I'm taking out the CPU and GFX card and PSU to use in my new rig i'm building  

How do I do complete wipe of a SSD or HDD? Should I do that first before installing them into my new rig?

thx for the help bro

You'll be able to do that while you're installing Win7 on the new computer. It's ask you on which drive you want to install windows - Select the drive you want to format, click on quick options > Format - Done!
