First of all thanks soo much for even reading this.

 

Now to get into it...

 

Previous Components: 

 

CoolerMaster Elite 310 Case

 

M5A78L-M/USB3   ( Motherboard )

 

Fx-4100 Cpu

 

No idea for Ram

 

Gtx 560 Ti 2gb

 

Crucial M500 240gb SSD  ( With OS installed )

 

500gb Hard Drive

 

New Components:  ( Only these things are changing, everything else the same )

 

AsRock Z97 Pro4 Motherboard

 

Intel Core i7 4790

 

CX 750 Watt PSU 

 

 

 

Now i need to ask a few questions. Is their an obvious problem, that anyone can see with what i am planning to do ? 

 

Also when i am going to upgrade , i am worried about RAM, and HDD interference. If i just move the SSD and HDD across to the new mobo and then install it into the case, will it work straight away or might there be a problem with the changing from AMD to Intel ?

 

Sorry if this is a little vague. If you would like any more info please ask, thanks for all the help.

You will need to reinstall Windows.

Well you will have plenty of power, if you plan on upgrading than that is good. What about RAM? If you right click My Computer and press properties, it will show you your computer specs. (Except the GPU) Do You have plan on using same GPU? Are you planing to get a new one? It probably will boot, but you may have to reinstall new intel drivers. You may also have to reactivate the windows license. 

Honistly, i would just back everything that is important on to a the hard drive (assuming that isn't your boot drive) and reinstall windows on your SSD Then you won't have to worry about getting the AMD drivers off. 

 

You will need to reinstall Windows.

 

Thanks for the really quick response. 

 

Just to quickly sumup ;

 

Backup SSD to HDD. 

 

Install new hardware, boot up and re-install windows along with Intel drivers.
