i7 2600 in 2022 Part I: IdeaCentre K320 to K330 Conversion

Hello YouTube!

I got a Lenovo IdeaCentre K320 back from a friend who was using it as their primary system the last few years. I decided to replace the 1st Gen Core I based K320 board with a 2nd Gen Core I based K330 motherboard in order to reuse the case and internal components without much modification. My main reasoning for doing so was to extend the life of the system another few years by adding AVX support in the i7 2600. This is the first part of a three part series. In part I we will be rebuilding the system. Part II will include setup and gaming benchmarks with the i7 2600 and GTX 770 combination. Part III will be a true test of what the i7 2600 is capable of in 2022 as I'll be swapping out the 8GB of RAM and GTX 770 with 16GB and a GTX 1060 6GB respectively.

Specs for the system in parts I and II is as follows
Intel i7 2600 4C/8T CPU @ 3.4GHz
8GB DDR3 1600MHz
GTX 770 2GB
2 x 1TB SATA drives in RAID1
1 x 750GB SATA storage drive
1 x 180GB SSD boot drive
Intel AC7260 Wifi + Bluetooth
Windows 10 Home

Part II will be getting the system up and running with a few benchmarks while running the GTX 770. Spoiler alert it's quite the odyssey.
