I would format C: first. If you repair, it leaves some stuff (programs, games, etc) to C: which usualy do not work, since there are no registry files for those and you would basicly need to install everything anyways.

It's just easier to do format first.

Ok a quick question here, when moving the whole rig from one generic case to the good one(TT/Antec and so on), do I need to disassemble CPU coolers\CPU itself?

No.

But if it's old build, it would be good idea to apply new thermal paste to cpu.
