    Thanks guys for the help! I was looking through used parts on Kijiji and found some awesome deals for a $300 pc build!
     
    CPU - Ryzen 5 2600 - $80
    Motherboard - MSI B450 Gaming PLUS - $40
    RAM - 16 GB DDR4 2666 MHz- $40 (I know its not the fastest RAM, but it should work fine on the Ryzen platform)
    GPU - Zotac GTX 1060 3 GB OC - $80 (Am going to overclock it for better performance)
    HDD - 500 GB - $10 (Do not know exact model)
    Case - NZXT Phantom 410 - $10 (ATX case)
    PSU - 500 W Corsair - $20 
     
    Total Price: $280
     
    I'm pretty sure this is a great 1080p max setting gaming/streaming PC!

    Do not go for a 1050Ti. This will perform the same if not better and is cheaper than even a 1050 non-TI and it has RGB for that extra performance.

    you don't even need one at all. Are you looking at an NVMe drive? don't get one for windows, it makes literally no difference. Just put windows on your 240GB SSD.

    Do not put one stick of RAM into a system that uses an APU for graphics.

    Raise your budget to $450 or don't even waste your time, don't even try because your son would be very disappointed.

    Yes that would be possible if the hard drive is working correctly. But using a HDD for this process is a pain in the butt, because it is rather slow. But give it a try

    I would suggest u just buy a main drive for you new pc, install fresh windows on it. and if you wanna get you data u can just connect the ssd from the laptop to your pc and just access it like a second drive. you will see the windows installation files and stuff, but as long as your drive is not encyrpted with bitlocker or something you should just be able to access it and pull your data with no problem.
    Then you could just format your old drive to get rid of the windows installation files and other junk and just use the drive as a second drive in your pc. Or just leave the data on there in the mess of an old windows installation, whatever you like most.
     
    Booting from that drive might be difficult with the missing drivers and the old setup. Fresh install is highly recommended.
     
    And I don't think you can sell your old windows license, as nowadays it is associated with your hardware to some degree.
