My 10+ year old motherboard finally went bust...

My 10+ year old motherboard finally went bust. I'm a little sad given that I had no problems at all and no need to upgrade. Now it seems like I either have to replace the board or get a whole new mobo/CPU/ram combo.

Replacing just the board seems stupid given it's $100 for a P5K Deluxe.

Getting a new mb/cpu/ram would be fine if I didn't have to reinstall Win7.

Can I upgrade to a relatively modern build without reinstalling my current Win7, or should I not bother and find some way to get my old build running?

If you live in montreal, I have a standard p5k i could give :D

Web browsing, watching 1080p, plex, and recently some VM stuff but not much. It was overclocked from 2.4 -> 3.6ghz.

I do not and I think the standard P5K wouldn't work for me as it doesn't have AHCI (I have two SSDs).

Paragon Adaptive Restore.

Ah, thanks, will try that. Would you bother booting it without that just to see if it will work?

The standard P5K does support AHCI
