If you want his old comp you'd need to get a new case, hard drive, sound card. Wireless card is unnecessary imo.

Custom built.

I think you need more HD space like 500 GB.

I'll wait until the hard drive shortage in Thailand is done before I'll be getting a new one.

Probably going to end up with a 32GB SSD for system, and 2 500GB for gaming/stuff.

yeah SSD is where to go..i would say just get that SSD and then get a External for everythign else...I just got a Seagate 4TB external HD for backing up everything and i have a 320GB HDD inside.
