Right, so I just bought the EVGA G2. Even if it's overkill, I'm pretty sure I can encourage my parents to subsidise the cost, as I just finished exams and my dad recently got a new job. The existence of a dead PSU will also help. I'm glad I'm in a situation where I can afford a surprise cost like this.

Woo I have a tier 4 PSU!
Since this was my first PC build I didn't pay much attention, and since the power is somewhat overkill (750W for a single GPU and i5 CPU) I've never really put a lot of load on it so it's been perfectly fine so far... But now I'm certainly looking at yet another part to upgrade eventually (preferably before catastrophic failure).

I'm glad I saw this, I was going to get a tier 4 for my next PC, but not anymore.

I will be upgrading to a skylake pentium soon. The exact one I chose will give me around the exact same performance in more-than-two-core applications, but I will see a massive speedup in single-core applications, plus I will have DDR4, more RAM, and upgradability to better skylake CPUs. Overall this is a good choice.
But now I need to go through the pain of reinstalling windows...

I've done a few clean installs of Windows 10, and it's always been a pretty pleasant experience. If you use the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool to make a bootable USB drive, it'll create one with all the latest Windows updates already installed, so it's just a case of running through the install, setting up some settings, and running Ninite or a Chocolatey script to install any software I need.

my upcoming upgrade has been bumped up to an i3, which will mean it will be better in every single case instead of most cases.
shortly after, I may be getting a new storage, so I may be putting off the entire setup until I can get a new storage in order to just copy my files over, instead of screwing around with trying to back bits up or install around.

nevermind, my brother decided against funding this upgrade because he didn't realize that, after the parts he's replacing and the parts I have lying around, he'd still have to buy other parts, even though I told him this many times.

I have a few drives in my system that aren't my main boot drive, including:
H: A 1TB WD drive which happens to have a Windows 10 install I don't care about on it, and a lot of data which I do care about. (The Win 10 install exists because when I got my first SSD, this had been my Windows 7 boot drive, and was cloned, then when I got my second, larger SSD, I wanted a Windows 10 licence registered to my motherboard, but a clean install of 10 on the new SSD, so upgraded the old Windows 7 to get a key as it was before the 1511 build which allowed Windows 10 to be activated by a 7 or 8.1 key). G: An identical 1TB WD drive which is completely full (except a few tens of megabytes), and holds most of my Steam library, my documents and downloads folders etc., my temporary files directory, a couple of installed programs, a pagefile which I have no idea whether or not is connected to an OS, and some general stuff. I: A brand new 2TB WD drive with nothing on it. In an ideal world, I'd like: The data now on G to be on I, and I to be renamed G so everything works. The current H and G to hold the same data as H does now, only to be in RAID0 to go faster without wasting space on anything as nice as redundancy. Obviously the first step is to move the stuff on G to I, but from my experience, cloning a drive to a different one of a different size is less reliable than just copying stuff. Is there any reason why just copying stuff won't work for a non-boot drive if the drive label is adjusted to match?
