I want to upgrade my computer and want to have a 4tb hard drive storage in it. Now I have a 1 TB hard drive with amd sempron processor and asus amn2 motherboard and 2 gb Ram

can a 4th hard drive work flawlessly with it too or that would be too much to ask from it? Larger storage must be requiring faster processor to manage that data.

If not possible then suggest me a good configuration for a new computer so that I have a really fast pc with 4tb storage. Should also be affordable and not too expensive.

Just above 1K USD you get a pretty decent all around PC, gaming and work.

The OP is using a sempron processor, and nowhere did anyone mention gaming.
Not everyone on this forum needs a $1k gaming PC.

If that motherboard still uses BIOS and not UEFI, then the 4TB hard drive may cause issues. In such a case, the overhaul of the PC is required in order to be able to use the 4TB hard drive. There are many options to cater to this.

If you can tell us your budget and what you do with your PC, we may be able to help you out.

Right, I don't need a gaming PC , my primary requirement is watching movies, studying and surfing net. So I need a fast PC to handle storage and some applications at a time but not a high quality gaming PC. my budget would be less than 400 dollars or at max 500 (INR 25000rs) dollars ie less than half of this budget.
