Here. This CPU will still handle the GPU with no problems.

PSU stands for power supply unit.
GPU stands for graphics processing unit. Most call them graphics card.

Yes. If you don't have an operating system disk/USB already, then let me know.

That's a good idea.

I was looking at the parts and saw there are 2 storage cards??? why?

 

[TechCIDLC]

I was looking at the parts and saw there are 2 storage cards??? why?

One is a solid state drive (SSD). Unlike hard drivers, solid state drives can load up applications extremely fast, at the cost of capacity. One example: with your old hard drive, opening up Photoshop took you more than 20 seconds, or Chrome took more than 6 seconds; with a solid state drive, both of these programs would load up almost instantly.

In the solid state drive, it is best to install your operative system (OS), and the main games you will be playing. The other hard drive in the list should be used for file storage, like music, pictures, movies, etc. and other games that you don't play as much.

Seems like you'll have to search YouTube videos on what are SSDs, how to assemble, install and properly configure.

Okay I hope I can figure it out. and how do you choose what stuff goes on what hardrive?

Okay I hope I can figure it out. and how do you choose what stuff goes on what hardrive?

When installing a program: When it asks you the directory for installation, change it to the hard drive. (This applies to most program installations, but not all.)

When moving personal files, like music, pictures: Just take these files and cut/copy them to the hard drive. (Making folders can help sorting out files.)

Okay but if I was to just get the harddrive and not the ssd would that be okay?

Yup.
