Sorry to hear about your PC troubles. To be honest, as long as your hard drive didn't crash, you should be able to replace the motherboard and graphics card without re-installing Windows or your software (including FF). You would probably have to do a little work to update your drivers so that Windows can deal with your new hardware, but you shouldn't have to start from scratch. Unless you have some other reason to reinstall Windows, I would ask your buddy about keeping your current hard drive and not wiping it clean. Getting things working the way you want them again is usually way more hassle than updating drivers.

There are a couple links to the FF and FFvT3R mod tools in the Game FAQ that should get you started if you do end up having to re-install.
