I built my first PC about 6-7 years ago now, and its starting to die on me and needs an upgrade. When planning for an upgrade, do i need to repurchase all my windows licenses again or can they be reused? i originally had a windows 8 license and upgraded to 10 when it became free.

If there is a good guide on doing a PC rebuild and check list of stuff to do before hand it would be greatly appreciated if someone could share it. would like to avoid blowing a lot of money right now on a new build.
Assuming you bought a retail license for Windows, you would be able to transfer your license from your old PC to your new one. I've even seen people mentioning that they were able to transfer an OEM license to a DIY-build, but no guarantee on that.

Below is a guide on the process, but I have seen people recommend not deactivating the license if its a digital license attached to a Microsoft account until after the license is installed on the new machine and registered to the same Microsoft account, because that could create problems with Windows recognizing the license. Better to try to activate the license on the new machine first and then de-activate on the old machine.

I picked this combo up as well. I plan to use it with a GIGABYTE Radeon RX 580 GAMING 8GB 8G 256-bit GDDR5 PCI-E 3.0 AMD Video Card that I picked up a while back.

I don't do any gaming, mostly number crunching with Python, Excel, and other tools and the occasional creation of short videos.

Can anyone suggest a solid cooler and power supply to use?

Thanks.

Picked this up today and got another $25 off the CPU. Fantastic deal. No intentions on keeping the RAM. Undecided on the mobo as I have an MSI Edge Z790 that I picked up for a good price as well (not the $111 I got the Aorus for though). Edge is within return period for another week. Decisions, decisions …
wait. so you only paid $380 for this combo? How did you get $25 of? thnx

$375 + tax. I used this new customer coupon [microcenter.com]. It doesn't work automatically with the combo, but the cashier adjusted it without me even asking. These guys have great customer service.

One person posted that it was $349 at his store. I haven't seen anyone else mention that though. $399 is fantastic though.

My micro center wont let me use the coupon with the combo. Also wanted to return the MB but they wont let me return just MB - have to return the whole thing.

Wow, that sucks. I was able to use the coupon and they let me return the mobo/RAM without issue. Try a different salesperson? It could be that that particualr store manager is just a hard a** though.

Honestly I'm building a pc for my nephew and while checking the baseline speed of the 12700 and 12900, if you are not intending to over cloak, overall performance and cooling the 12700 I believe it's better deal and it's 50 cheaper.

Regarding the other comment about the pricing. I ended up buying the lower 350 for the mobo, ddr4 and cpu and it came up 329. Cheaper.

CPU ran 127, mobo 149 and memory 38 bucks.
Thanks for sharing. Trying to match, was this after coupon you got it for $329? It shows on website for $350 but you are saying you went in store and bundled it with an associate and it ran up to only $329?
