Thinking about changing my CPU/MOBO, question.

If I change my cpu/mobo, does that mean that when i will reinstall windows/office it will take a liscence ? How many liscence does windows 7/office 2000 comes with ?

And you can see in my sig my current rig, do you think it's worth to upgrade to a I5 3570 with an ASUS MAXIMUS V GENE ?

Thanks guys.

I've never been much for overclocking, in fact I don't because I don't want to over use the component for speeds who are not intended. jack00

these days its easier then ever to OC (as long as ur responsible). most motherboards ahve a utility u can download, and all you do is grab the slider and move it a few % at a time. if your fan or heatsink is a nice size, u can move the slider more and more. a few % is safe, more then 7 or 8% with only stock cooling and ur asking for trouble.

you can go to intel but dont expect to see a i big performance increse in games over your AMD Phenom II 1055T, tho

stick with it, not worth upgrading at this point. Just grind out your phenom II until performance is unacceptable. For now buy a cooler and OC like mad.

No you will get away with not reinstalling. I have a blog post about how I changed everything on my PC apart from the case and HDD and it never required a reinstall.JohnF111

Yes and No.

Most of the time it will complain that the key has been activated already, sometimes it will just activate online.

If not you will be prompted to do the Telephone Method, and if you speak with a MS representative, just tell them you had to reinstall cause of a virus (DO NOT MENTION UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES that you have new motherboard etc)
