I was comparing my brother's build (which I play on) to a used PC that I might buy (the one on the right if you visit the link) and in front of the motherboard name it says the HDD isn't compatible, should I be worried?

Thanks :)

I think its just due to the fact that the drive is sata 2, and the motherboard is designed with sata 3 drives in mind, note that sata 3 is backwards compatible and will work with sata 2, so nothing to worry about 

So the first thing I should upgrade as soon as possible is the hdd? (keeping in mind this one is only 320 gb ._.)

Yeh i'd toss that drive the second you get the pc, it would be slow as hell loading games and not an enjoyable experience

As long as it's only loading I'm fine with it. My brother's PC has no SSD so I'm used to slow loading times. The second I get the PC I'm just going to get the peripherals, start saving up for a nice 144 hz monitor and THEN the 1 tb hdd :D Thanks tho
