Country: Australia Purpose: Gaming/work/general use (upgrade) Budget: Under AU$500 I'm looking at upgrading my existing system and just want to validate what I've picked. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($275.00 @ Centre Com) Motherboard: Asus H170M-PLUS Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($159.00 @ Centre Com) Memory: Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2133 Memory ($45.00 @ Umart) Total: $479.00 For reference I've got an existing GTX 760 which I think will do me for a little while yet, at least until the current gen card prices drop. From memory my current PSU is 430W. Any problems with this build? Also, what's going to happen to my existing Windows 10 install when I do this? Am I going to need to do a full reinstall?

AVeryLargeRadish posted:The part choices look fine. If you have an OEM license you will need a new Windows license since the license is tied to the motherboard, if it's a retail copy you can just reinstall, you would want to reinstall regardless because of the significant hardware changes. Awesome. Thanks!
