I would get a new USB or transfer the files over a network or using firewire/thunderbolt and target disk mode.

Your build should give better performance than a PS4. If you turn the settings up too high, you will still have stuttering, but if you play at PS4 levels, you should have smoother gameplay.

Looks like a decent system for starting out. You might consider waiting for the new AMD cpus due out very soon. They could have dramatically better performance and/or help drive prices down. You might also consider buying a used system. There are a lot of used workstations around that actually...

Playing on a TV won't be any worse than what you are used to on a console. Do try to find one that has a good PC mode: that will help. Stick to what's in your budget. Much of the advertising around gaming stuff is nonsense.

Your motherboard looks fine.

It can connect: you just need a little DVI to VGA adapter. It shouldn't cost more than a few $.

Two 980ti's should handle 4k pretty well for game that support SLI and scale well. The 3-way bridge can connect 2 cards in any of the positions.

Depends on the game. Most will work but may not have great performance.

What you are asking is definitely not possible. Just buy a USB expansion card as suggested about.

My recommendation would be to remove at least one of your GPUs and sell it. Whoever thought putting 3x GPUs into that system was a good idea is crazy. 3 way sli has terrible performance for the cost even on systems that fully support it (yours doesn't). For 1080p gaming, a single 980ti is...

Looks like a good CPU and GPU for a a budget. I would aim for a more powerful PSU if possible. The 7970 draws a lot of power.

It might be possible, but you would only be able to upgrade to another old, outdated cpu. The money and effort would be better spent toward a new laptop. Upgrading laptop cpus is a pain and can easily break things.

UEFI is the new sort of software built into computer hardware that turns everything on and lets your computer boot. It replaces the BIOS. I would think that motherboard should work fine. It won't be artificially limited like some OEM boards are. It looks like someone was able to get a gtx 950...
