System change on same Hard drive

[QueenRatchet123]

I am going to update my system soon, the whole system, but keeping the same HDD

 

Current system: 

Cpu: a8-3870k

Ram: gskill 4gb

GPU: 7770

MOBO: asrock a75 extreme6

PSU Raidmax rx-530ss

 

Upgrade:

CPU: new i7-4790k (pre-ordered it)

Ram: Corsair Vengeance 8gb 2133

GPU: GTX 770

MOBO:MSI Z97-GD65 Gaming Intel Z97 Chipset

PSU: coolermaster 700i 700w

CPU cooler: corsair hydro h90

 

My question is, im keeping my same 7200rpm western digital HDD. Will i encounter any problems installing the new system and the harddrive?  will i have to do a fresh windows  install or something?

 

I also have another seagate2tb secondary drive, also running at 7200rpm

You might have to since you are changing pretty much everything including the motherboard

 

I find it always best to do a fresh install when doing upgrades. Gives you an excuse to have a good clear out

 

Why not get a cheap SSD while you are at it

if you swap GPU only, no need. While changing motherboard you will encounter some old driver issues (those are usually hard to uninstall).

Making a clean installation of windows will give you smoother operation, aspecially if you were rocking your current setup for a yerar or two (most people even more).

So go for a clean install.
