I'm looking to upgrade from an AMD FX 6350 to either an i5 4690K or an i7 4790K. To do this, I need a new motherboard with the LGA1150 socket.
I have a few questions:
-Getting a new motherboard means I need to reinstall windows. Will I need to purchase a new copy of windows? My PC is a custom built.
-I see Micro ATX motherboards are cheaper. Do these work with ATX cases?
-What are the disadvantages of Micro ATX? There must be a reason since they're so cheap.
-If Micro-ATX isn't ideal, what's a good, cheap LGA1150 motherboard for a budget upgrade?
