Hi, I wanted to move my current system into another case. If I do so, I just unplug all the cables and put it in the other case, start it up and just can play anything I want to do on it? Or do I need to reinstall windows and stuff....?

Can I just unplug all, plug back in in another case and run my PC???

You should be good to go if you plug the Sata cables is the same place with the same device.

If you carry over everything, and connect it the same way you can just press the power button and do what you want.

you have to make sure that the case supports the form factor of your mobo, its normally ATX but you should check, and that it has enough hard drive, ssd, and external drive bays for everything.  if you have a long graphics card make sure it will fit and make sure your psu will fit, other than that you should be good to go

I can help with programming and hardware.

Just make sure that everything is connected as before. All you are changing is the case and the case usually doesn't have anything to do with the OS at all, so you don't have to reinstall windows or any drivers.

I once had one of these, now I've got this.

hi i am going to build my first system but i touched the black pcb on my graphics card and i dont know if i damaged it any help lease

Don't go on someone else thread and start something else. You have to start your own thread. And it shouldn't have hurt your GPU. You're fine.
