Hello, (not sure if this is the write category. Don't really know where to put this)
I made the awful mistake of buying a pre-built PC a while back before I really knew anything about computers, and although I have made some upgrades to it, I can still barely run Skyrim at 1080p on the bare minimum settings, and I have to play other games on low as well, and I frankly am just sick of it and want to start fresh.
But here's the thing, I have 2 hard drives already in this PC now (one with the OS stuff on it, and other with games saved on it) a pretty good PSU (600 watts) and 8 gigs of RAM, so my question is, can I buy a new mobo, CPU (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117372), and a new crazy GPU (something like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125685) and still use all my previously used stuff with no problems? Like will my OS and everything work if I just pop in my already owned hard drives and ram?
I'm sure it's possible, but I just want to make sure from people who know their stuff before I buy several hundreds of dollars worth of stuff and it all not work together properly. Also recommending some GPU's, CPU's, mobo's, and cases would be appreciated
