Hey im getting a rtx 2060s to replace my rx 580 and  a ssd to put my os on there and keep my hdd for storage. Im not to sure on the process of how i should do everything. Should i just install windows fresh on ssd and wipe old drive then install the new card, or should i use ddu to remove old drivers before hand. Just dont want to screw some things up

If you don't have anything important on the old HDD then installing fresh windows on the new SSD is a good idea. Install the new GPU and SSD run a USB installer of Windows 10 and fresh install windows onto the SSD you can choose to wipe or transfer data from your old HDD once you're in windows if your old HDD is hooked up.
