I am currently working on purchasing all the parts required to build my half new half salvaged computer, and had some questions regarding this.
First of all, I was wondering if transferring the RAM (12GB DDR3) would be as simple as just removing and plugging it in.
Secondly, i need to know if removing the old hard drive and SATA cables from my current computer, and plugging them into my new computer would be that simple. Would i need to wipe it and buy a new version of windows? Is wiping it necessary?
Lastly, I would like to name the changes that my computer will be undergoing. Im planning on upgrading my motherboard from an unbranded prebuilt to an MSI Z97 ATX, my processor from an AMD A10-6700 to an I5-4690, my case from a prebuilt micro ATX to an MSI ATX mid tower, and my PSU from an unbranded 300W to a 650W fully modular 80+ Bronze.
With all of these upgrades in such a short amount of time, i would like to save some money and reuse the old HDD and SATA cables, and the RAM as well. Is this possible? Thanks a lot, and have a great day!
