I have saved up some money and am going to replace the motherboard with processor and RAM, but before that I only encountered replacing the power supply and video card.
Old:
Motherboard – ASUS M2N
Percent – AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+
New:
Motherboard – Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H-WB
Perc – Intel Core i7 – 3770 BOX
In order not to break anything, help is required from knowledgeable people. Sockets match.
What awaits me after I change all this?? Will it be necessary to format the hard drive?? How to reinstall Windows from Bios? And is it really worth doing it yourself??

After you change everything and assemble it correctly, the computer will start and Windows will boot. Then you install the drivers from the disk (it is advisable to remove the old ones) and that’s it. Everything is very simple and there is no need to format the hard drive.
It’s up to you. But no matter how difficult it may seem to you (and it seemed very difficult to me the first time), in fact, everything is even more elementary than in LEGO, you just need to look at the instructions, which have pictures, don’t worry and take your time, and everything will be fine.
A POSSIBLE OS crash awaits. You can reinstall or try to restore the old one. You don’t need to format the disk for this. It is best for this operation to be carried out and explained by a knowledgeable person, in order to avoid any troubles.
You put the motherboard on the bolts(Sometimes you also need to put bolts under it into which other bolts are screwed); you place the percent according to the cutouts on it and the keys in the socket, place the cooler in the holes, turn the latches and press them until they click (note: don’t forget about thermal paste); RAM is generally simple (you open the latches, insert the RAM along the cutout, press it in until the latches close). It is not necessary to format the hard drive (but it is necessary if you install a new Windows (install a disk (or mount NeroBR or something else), go to the boot menu in the BIOS, select the disk, in the menu select “install with formatting of the system hard drive”)), and new drivers for all this
I hope you won’t try to fit a DDR2 RAM into a DDR3 slot? Well, I’m asking just in case, anything can happen.
IMHO, smearing it yourself is better. Then it is guaranteed that there will be no “air bubbles”. Excess (if any) will not extend beyond the contact surface and will not pollute everything around.
It will display the motherboard screen (the one from which you need to jump into the BIOS) (it will look different and there is no need to put aside bricks because of this :3), and then Windows will start in safe mode (low resolution, gamma, etc.) or Windows won’t start (what to do is clear). And yes, swing the wood in advance Not system disk, if you don’t want to download them in safe mode
I’m also updating my computer here, so please explain how to apply thermal paste correctly, if suddenly the BOX doesn’t already have it applied?
Carefully add a couple of drops, so that when the cooler smears it, it covers the percentage, but does not stain the “surroundings”; if it gets dirty, carefully remove it with a napkin
Before this I wanted to take ASUS Maximus IV Extreme, but the gigabytes are almost the same, and the price is almost 3k less.
To begin with, it would be a good idea to degrease both surfaces (technical alcohol or, in extreme cases, vodka will do). Then put a drop or 2 of thermal paste on the processor and spread it evenly over the processor. Ideally, the layer should be thin, but if something happens, the excess will squeeze out. Then you actually install the cooler and that’s it.
