Ok so I finally got the money to switch but I have a few questions about switching. Ok question 1 Will I need a new case? I orginally bought my Pc pre-built and I just added a better GPU to it because at the time I didn't know all to much about computer but the model is http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c03517389
That is my exact computer except it has a gtx 960 instead of whatever it had to begin with. Ok so question 2. Because I bought my computer pre built I do not have a disk that has a copy of windows on it, Will that be a problem? question 3. So the mother board I am switching to is this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128822&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=and the cpu is this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117372&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Processors+-+Desktops-_-N82E16819117372&gclid=CjwKEIm not sure if they come with thermal paste or the stuff you use to wipe thermal paste off and I cant find anything on google saying if they do or not so if someone could confirm if they do or not that would be awesome.

Thermal paste should be supplied with your cpu cooler. If your using a stock cooler it is probably pre applied

Thermalpaste is removed by isopropyl alcohol

It is dirt cheap and can be found in a medical store

1 You should be able to use the same case. 

 

2. You can probably reactivate the code, and if you can't, call microsoft and they will

 

3. Id higly suggest you get a i5 6400 and a b150 board, but if you go haswell, id get a 4690 non k as you can oc on that board. 

 

The stock cooler has thermal paste.
