from my 720 black edition @ 3.6ghz on msi gd70 mobo

to i5-750 , with MSI P55-GD65 motherboard, and this for RAM :

the rest of my system are as follows:

Corsair 850tx
Coolermaster cm690
Ati radeon 4890 1gb

What do you guys think of the intel stuff i've picked?

If i swap out my mobo/cpu/ram - Will I need to reinstall Win7rc?

I have an Xigmatek Dark knight - any chance they make brackets for the i5 sockets?
