Stick it into your computer, format the new drive, and drag and drop?

^^^, But if you want to maintain your old file structure you can find software to transfer the disk image for you too. I prefer the drag and drop method though. Less to think about.

My rig: 2600k(4.2 GHz) w/ Cooler Master hyper 212+, Gigabyte Z68-UD3H-B3, Powercolor 7870 xt(1100/1500) w/AIO mod,

8GB DDR3 1600, 120GB Kingston HyperX 3K SSD, 1TB Seagate, Antec earthwatts 430, NZXT H2

Verified max overclock, just for kicks: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2609399

I don't see how it wouldn't. That how hard drives work in general.
