I just got a decent holiday bonus from work and am looking to upgrade some parts on my PC.
My current components are as follows -
PSU - Seasonic M12III fully modular 850W Bronze Cert.
GPU - XFX R9 290X 8 Gig
CPU - FX-8350 4.0 Ghz
Ram - G. Skill Ripjaw X 8 Gig DDR3 1600 (2x4)
Mobo - MSI 990FXA
HDD - Seagate 1TB 6.0Gb/s 7200RPM.
Optical Drive - LG super multi drive
What I would like to add would be another 2-3 TB of storage as I save a lot of documents, games, and pictures to my computer. I am thinking of another Seagate Barracuda 3 TB and would need to know how to transfer windows and my data over to this HDD.
I also want to partition Windows to a 128 Gig SSD. Which I am assuming will add draw on my PSU. I received the same RAM from a friend - New in the package - so I will be adding another 8 gigs. I also bought a blue ray drive from Asus.
The new case I JUST purchased is for future proofing more than anything - it has 3-4 200MM fans and a 140mm fan. I know fans can draw a lot of power and this is a lot more fans than on my previous case that really had inadequate cooling. Here's a link to the case - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119225 - Will 850W's be enough to run all this safely?
