Mrs. is a power user. I'm building her a new Core I5/Win7 PC. Can I get this and upgrade to X6?

Before replying, may I suggest you get the newer version, CorelDraw X6. Another Amazon vendor is offering the X6 version for just a dollar or two more, which is the product I purchased just last week. You used the term "upgrade." However, nothing I noticed in the product I recently purchased identified it as an upgrade. On the "honor system," you're expected to be a home or student user, thus entitling you to purchase this full X6 version I purchased at a deeply discounted price. You'd also be entitled to making three installations and a license number was provided with the product, too. In other words, it's a full version, not an upgrade version. I installed it without a hitch. By the way, I'm also running Windows 7 Home Premium on an I5-3450 processor. So, as far as I can tell, you'd be perfectly "good to go" buying the X6 version I purchased for about the same price. Good luck with it.

Personally I'm running Windows 7, but that was one of the reasons I liked this board. It was upgradeable to the newest AMD apu and I could run Windows 8 if I wanted to (I'm not really a fan of 8 on machines without a touch screen) . If you want to run Windows 8 you have to download the latest drivers from the Gigabyte website. All in all, I love the board. I would definitely recommend it.

I was running Wordperfect X3, but Quattro Pro X5 and Presentation X5 when I upgraded, so I had no problems. But you need X5 or X6. Here the quote from the Amazon website: "To purchase this product [WordPerfect Office X7 Standard Upgrade ], you must own a previous licensed version of WordPerfect Office X5 or X6, Standard or Professional Edition. Please note that upgrade eligibility excludes Academic, Home & Student, OEM and Not for Resale (NFR) versions."

IMO your upgrade priorities are confused. Microsoft currently wants everybody to upgrade to Windows 8.1 and later to Windows 10. You need 8 GBytes RAM; if you cannot upgrade your RAM then plan to junk your computer. Concerning the ASUS video card, it is the length of a PCI Express 16 motherboard slot, and (with the supplied GPU Tweak software) I use it with a 350 watt desktop PSU. YMMV.

Yes, it is. I personally have this one paired with a Sabertooth x79, the UEFI bios takes care of the overclocking. Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I think all i7-3xxxK and i7-4xxxK processors are unlocked.

i agree with steve - decide what you want this system to do first, then research stuff... you can also do a virtual build with pcpartpicker (which is the site i used)...I ended up with a Gigabyte board (GA-78LMT-USB3) to replace internals of an HP system.. Depending on where you go to buy it, it's holding around $50.. been running it since September with no problems.. :)

Mine is E5400 dual core, X86. You probably need to install 7 32 bit. I'm using Win XP 32 bit.

Yes you can. You can use just one of the listed supported CPU's. If you're having issues with a certain CPU you may need the BIOS upgraded, or buy a BIOS chip with the upgraded BIOS needed for the processor you're using.

Don't understand your question. Are you asking me how the computer works with the upgrade? I'm a little confuse.

Yes..without a problem. But..(I don't remember if it had an operating system on it when it arrived) unless it has the operating system on it..you'll have to use a "full blown" version of Windows 7..not the upgrade.

There is no reason why this machine could not be upgraded. I'm not a fan of WIN8 and you would have to buy the program separately but otherwise it should be fine running on the new OS.

The only possible fly in the ointment with this configuration would be that the P67 motherboard may need a BIOS update prior to using the Ivy Bridge CPU. Otherwise, these items should work together very well. The i7 is fine if you intend to do a lot of heavy duty video editing work, etc. but I find, for most people, unnecessary. And if you go to Newegg you could pick up the XFX FX-785A-ZNL4 HD7850 for about the same price. Just saying.

I haven't done it yet but see no reason that wouldn't allow you to. I plan to add more ram to the one I own. As for upgrading the OS that shouldn't be any issue either.

No clue about Windows *.x. I'm still running XP64 as there hasn't been any reason for me to upgrade...and when it do, it will likely be to Windows 7 and not the newer versions. If Diamond is still supporting this product, I would suggest checking their website for current driver information.
