    Moving Windows to an SSD

    Yeah that is the plan. I was just curious if there was a better way to do it. Also, do I need to remove windows 8 from the HDD since the key is already activated on it? I've never done this before so I'm confused. Could you give me a quick step by step guide on what order I should do everything?

    will an r9 290 work on a corsair cx500 (500 watt)

More realistically, you will want something 600w or higher from a really reputable brand like Seasonic or Corsair's higher end models.
