Post has been edoted

Hey guys so ive been tryin to improve my current system. I have never had a new motherboard or new CPU and i only have 1internal harddrive

I am basicly now looking to be able to add more internal harddrives as external harddrives always seem to break down on me,I opened my tower inside and couldnt find how to add a secondary drive so not sure if i need something new?

Wondering will i need a new motherboard to be able to add more than one internal harddrive?

If so which would you reccomend

Specs of my pc : http://prntscr.com/3nza9l << duely not i have different RAM in now
i have this ram purchased and installed
16gb of it www.amazon.co.uk/Crucial-BLT2CP4G3D1608DT1TX0CEU-Ballis...

My graphics card is outdated so would be good to point me in the direction of a newer one if possible.

The idea with the bootdrive is to install your OS on an SSD, which reduces the boot time. But you would have to buy a SSD then reinstall windows on it, which takes time

A 750TI sounds like it would be best

Get the Gigabyte one as the MSI one is 'reconditioned'. Just as a reminder, you won't need a PSU with PCIe connectors as the 750TI is powered through the PCI slot, and not through PCIe connectors

Yep. Only thing you will have to do is plug it into the board, plug in the monitor cable and play
