Hi guys,
a while back i replaced my PSU, CPU, GPU, MoBo, Ram, and added some fans to my computer.
The upgrades were well worth it, however, because i swapped MoBos my computer doesnt think my windows 8 serial number belongs to me. This is frustrating because once every couple of hours it blue screens me....i'm not too hard core so ive been just dealing with it for the last year or so.
Its time i fixed this. apparently my only option is buying a key code for a new windows program and registering it to my computer.
before i do this i would like to make some changes to my hardware. Currently running a seagate barracuda 7200rpm 1tb HDD. Its like 4 years old. It has plenty of space left on it but I plan on replacing this anyway with a higher quality HDD. something quieter, preferably, suggestions?
Also, i'd like to add a smaller SSD (~250gb) and use both an SSD and a HDD. I know a ton of people do this but i could really use some advice on how to do this with my own rig.
What is the order of operations? what SSD/HDD should i be using? should i install my OS on the SSD and my steam account + other games on my HDD? can i run some games on the SSD (like skyrim) and some from the HDD?
im really a noob and tomshardware has been my lifeline with my first PC! thanks for any and all help offered. let me know if u need to know anything about my current set-up to be helpful.
