do a backup of your files in case anything goes south

enable xmp

and give ninite.com a visit if you do choose to reinstall windows (from a usb stick preferably)

it's up to you, you can try it without reinstalling but it may cause funky issues

it's recommended to reinstall

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

Now thats something really cool. Ill definetly use this tonight! Going to go and buy a new motherboard today, So a fresh install of windows would be nice too! Tho Mega.nz should be an option on the "online storage".
