Hi all, i placed an order for a new intel cpu and motherboard. im making the long needed switch from amd finally. i know how to do all the switch-over work, but ive never switched platforms before. i believe i will need to re-install windows but the problem is i dont have a disk and i dont think i ever did, i may not need to though. im actually not sure what i will have to do at all once i have the hardware ready to go. Please give me some advice and possibly some tips on the best method to complete this instillation after i put in all of the hardware heres my info (just for the hell of it):
right now:
AMD FX-4100 3.60 GHz Quad-Core AM3+ CPU 4MB L2 Cache & Turbo Core Technology (I got it overclocked to about 3900 Mhz)
8GB (2GBx4) DDR3/1600MHz Dual Channel Memory
AMD Radeon HD 7970 3GB
650 Watt corsair power supply
1TB SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 32MB Cache 7200RPM HDD
GigaByte GA-970A-D3 AMD 970 Socket AM3+ ATX Mainboard
