You don't need to buy a new copy, unless it's an OEM version. Just use the disk, or create a bootable USB installer and use your existing key to install.

No, you will only have to reactivate it after it detects the change of chipset and CPU.
Please note that it takes a little work uninstalling drivers before switching the motherboard if you haven't already noted.

(The cost of not doing this is windows cannot be used, if you already switched just use a program called Paragon)

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.
