ah ok, must have misread then. I thought you were just going to throw the original drive into the new PC lol.
Yeah, I STRONGLY recommend a SSD to put your OS and whatever games on it. I put one in my 7 year old laptop and its so fast now.
There is a 1TB SSD on amazon that is "cheap" for its worth.

lol.
Anyway, yes. SSD for the OS, then you can just hook up the old HD as a secondary and pull your stuff from it.
