lol thats it, if i were you I would keep the computer buy another one. I highly doubt the mobo and cpu are stuffed together.
Getting the data off can be done in a few ways.
Buy an external hard drive case (sata or ide I would say you have sata) put the hard drive into the case and transfer to new pc.
Put the hard drive into the new pc as a slave get the data that way.
A few of the newer computer cases (usually right on top of the case don't need pull anything apart) have a docking station on them, simply a matter of putting the hd into this and you are set.
The computer tech is just trying to get you to buy parts you don't need, they make money this way.
