    If you haven't already figured it out, I have a store bought computer.

    I guess I'm afraid that there are proprietory parts that won't work with a new motherboard.

    I've learned a lesson. Don't get pre-built store bought computers.

    In 2 years I will be getting a new computer and I will be building it.


    It's a lesson most of us learn the hardway! Me included .

    What other components are you concerned about? Maybe if you can list all your parts we could advise you better.
