Minor mistake, put the wrong link as I was looking at other boards

That board works with the Asus 7750 GPU, and the processor?
And I'd reactivate my current Windows?  I wouldn't have to re-buy it, would I?

The board supports 125W TDP, so yes.
The GPU should, considering any PCIe x16 card will work.

Reinstall and reactivate (you could test your current installation before this, your call.) You wouldn't have to purchase it again so long as you activate over the phone.

The board you linked has a tiny amount of allowed RAM, right now I have 9 gigs in it, that board only supports 8.
Any other options?

Yeah, it will
It's a good alternative to an i3 so I'd go for it.

Bought with two day shipping, will there be any damage to the CPU I just put in, should I request a replacement?

There shouldn't be any damage to it, only thing that happened was the other motherboard not supporting it, which doesn't affect the processor.

The motherboard supports up to a 95W processor. Your processor is a 125W processor. You're replacing something in an HP prebuilt, expect to be low-balled.
You're going to have to make a return to newegg.
Isn't this exactly what I pointed out before he bought it?

I didn't see the post about that, sorry.

Anywho, about my last question?

So are quantumn computers possible? I don't want a long explanation, just a simple Yes or No. No "well theoretically..." junk either.

Yes

Because anything is possible.
