I was under the impression that the product key was tied to the bios on the mobo.

ive had windows and/or ms office want to re-authenticate over a cloned hdd and a vid card swap. you should keep your product key just in case. you wont have to do a full reinstall but you might have to re-authenticate.

which is where the bios is correct?

Correct. I have read where some people were able to just reauthenticate and some had to get a new key, it seems to be hit or miss.

you can always use the automated phone option to re-authorize your computer. never talk to a real human - just punch in the numbers with your keypad on your phone.

I have had to do this several times. I bought 1 key back when 7 first came out and I've wiped my HD and/or upgraded too many times to count

He got arguably the best 7970 you can get besides the Lightning. And I'm not just saying that because I have two of them.

You can't decide, just like me. One day I am fine, next day I want to crossfire, then I want a new gpu completely

Latex gloves for the assembly process? Nah, unless your palms sweat profusely beyond anything I've ever seen.

But I'm not one to consult on safety. I've never used or even owned an anti-static wrist strap.

And the other day I sanded a little bit of drywall without a mask.

Sounds like a steal...for you

Gardoki, it's not that I can't decide as much as it's just enjoying trying different things.

It's like a girl experimenting a little with some twat in college. She still prefers dick but why not try out some fish taco to assure yourself that you have made the right life choices? It's perfectly acceptable.

It also helps that I have been fortunate enough to get some good deals on stuff.
