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! :D Me included .

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