    Curious how much hardware you can change before MS won't allow you to re-activate? I found this, which says a hard drive or motherboard change might cause you to lose activation - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/why-activate-windows-10, but it doesn't say how much you can change...

    I just went through the same thing and went with the Phenom II X4. Best bang for the buck, and AM3 will be around for awhile so you'll have CPU upgrade options for awhile.

    gaming mouse surface...worth it?

    I'm using a Steelpad 4d. I don't think it performs any better than a cloth pad, but I prefer the feel of how the mouse moves on this surface. For me, it was worth the $20.
