Any Videos?.. and few questions..

any videos on installing mother boards, cpu'd, and formatting the hard drive with booting up a brand new pc with all new hardware..?

i'm planning to build my own pc (1st time, n00b), so only thing is on my current pc is i will be using is maybe my 250gb sata (master drive), cd rw, and dvd-rw.

what i'm adding is most of the top of the line hardware, (right now i cant get the exact hardware)
- 680i motherboard
- nvida 8800 GTX video card
- Core 2 Duo 2.66GHz processor
- PSU 800W
- 450W backup power
- CM Stacker 830 Case
- 2 orders of (2) 1GB sticks from consir, which is 4GB of RAM total.

now my question if its smart to run my windows and keep all my data from my current pc, without reformatting or reinstalling windows again, and all need to do is running the new drivers, and uninstalling the older ones for the hardware that was removed. Would there be any bad effects, or anything can happened if i do it like that, without reinstalling windows, which i was told it is best to reinstall windows on the amount of changes is being made??

another question is, mother bring Ethernet port? i see only a LAN ports, but not sure if that is a Ethernet port also..?

also i have a hard disk drive on my older pc, (current) and its more of a manufacture hard disk drive, how would i find the drivers for that for i can install if needed?

If it doesn't work right, then you can save your data and reformat.

LAN = ethernet

Hard drives do not need drivers.
