Motherboard upgrade...

aleraiders

So i am upgrading a generic hp motherboard for a msi x99s sli krait edition...i have swapped out most the parts just need to swap the video cards....

What else do i need to do? Is the upgrade as easy as just swapping the motherboard? Do i need to transfer anything? Or just plug and play?

Thanks

What's the old pc spec? No it wont be that easy, the CPU and motherboard has to be compatible. But the GPU can be easy.
