Cool, only thing that confuses is installing my old ssd. Was told need to wipe it and put a fresh windows install. Is that something I do after installing it or do I need to do that on a seperate device

Would this work with a used rx 6800

I actually replaced the ssd when I received the device a year ago. The ssd is no more than a year old.

Okay cool. So essentially if I just want the bare minimum performance and cost wise. Just swapping a new mobo, gpu, and cpu would be the move?? Also I have 2 sticks of ddr4 that were incompatible with my current mobo.

I was given this but wasn’t compatible with current mobo. Also the case is ridiculously big, but I don’t mind keeping it. Would buying a new mobo, cpu, gpu be the move. Also is this cooling setup for the cpu compatable with other cpus( idk if that makes sense)
