You won’t need to purchase a new copy of Windows 7 if you have your installation key. Have a look on the case for a sticker that identifies it. If you have no record of it you can retrieve from within the Operating system. Software such as Magical Jellybean can do this for you. Since you have backed up all your important files this would be the first priority before attempting to create an image to transfer to a new HDD.
Do you have a Windows 7 installation disk?
You can try fixing the MBR to hopefully bring your OS back to life. For this you will need your Windows 7 installation disk. The details on how to do this are detailed in the Microsoft link below:
1. Have a look for your in Windows 7 key on the case in case you need to reload the OS.
2. Obtain a Windows 7 install disk if you haven’t got one already.
3. Fix MBR using disk
4. Run Magical Jellybean to retrieve key if you don’t have it and you can get the operating system back up and running.
5. Attempt to create image for new HDD.
Edit: If you are able to create the image and load it onto a new drive it would be wise to come back here to have scans run for any malware that might have been missed.

If it is in fact a serial connector getting an adaptor that will take a 9 pin DIN plug is going to be very difficult if not impossible.
Check the pin configuration against this list and see if anything looks like it. If it were a six pin DIN plug then it would be a simple PS/2 connector.
Make sure the card is well seated in the PCI slot and enter the PC BIOS setup and disable online VGA and for the beeping, it depend on the kind of number of times its sound.

This should resolve the issue.
Your board already supports 7.1 audio. Here's the thing though. Unless your headset requires a ton of power to drive, you probably won't benefit much from a sound card upgrade. Asus does a great job with onboard audio, especially on their high end Sabertooth and Rampage motherboards. I use a RampageRead more

I use a Rampage IV Gene, and its shielded implementation of the Realtek ALC898 actually sounds better than the Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium I was using in a previous computer.
I think the only real upgrade in audio quality would be a USB DAC.

Please list your complete system specs & your reason for wanting a CPU upgrade. Your system is outdated so it’s not worth throwing too much money at it. Based on the factory specs, the CPU is the least of your performance problems. If no other upgrades have been made, the CPU should be low on the priority list. There are other issues that should be addressed 1st. But to answer your question, the Phenom X4 is NOT supported. The CPU support list can be found here, see page 7:

You need a cable modem. If you don’t currently own one then you will need to lease or buy. If you wish to use wireless connections for your laptop you will also need a wireless router.
I recommend using a router even if you only plan on using one wired connection. The router acts as a hardware firewall that protects your computer somewhat from the outside world.
Most wireless router will also have ports for connecting computers to it using a networking cable.
