I have a 1TB NVME boot drive (Samsung 980 pro) for my new PC and was reusing my old 1TB HDD for storage (games, pics, files, etc). Sounds like the drive is starting to fail, its pretty old.

Hi, I have an older ASUS P8Z77-V Intel motherboard in my tower. My enclosed HDD is failing, so I'm looking at replacing it with an SSD for the OS using the PCIe 3.0 x16 slot on the board.

For the past few weeks I've been using pcpartpicker to find all of my parts. However, every time I pick a motherboard, lots of compatibility issues pop up with the processor (BIOS), case, and Power supply. For the BIOS, I know I can manually fix that, but for the others I'm no so sure. Can someone let me know about a…
