So I'm completely upgrading my system and need to know if there is anything out of the ordinary that I should expect. Long story short I'm coming from an AMD build where I have an FX-8150 with an ASRock 970 Extreme motherboard, XFX R9 280x GPU, and Patriot Viper DDR3 4GB x 4 in RAM.
I'm now switching to an i7 4790k with a Z97X-Gaming 3 motherboard and a R9 390 GPU.
My question is twofold, number one, is this RAM still acceptable? Everything I read on RAM shows that it really isn't that important as long as you have a decent amount.
And two, since I'm switching from an AMD build to an Intel one, do I really need to do anything with my hard drives and my operating system? The hard drives will be coming along and I am not replacing them. I have a 240GB SSD that I use as my primary drive and a 2TB drive for storage space. Is it basically just plug and go or do I need to do anything in advance to prepare the drives for the switch? I'm running Windows 10.
Thanks all for your help!
