Hook my pc up to my 65 inch 4K tv and I have been getting good FPS with my rx480 crossfire setup. Any suggestions on a good SD hard drive?

The monitor will have to wait a few months probably after spending all of this. But what do ya'll think. Should I wait to see if some prices go down or is the 1080 pretty much what it's gonna be at for the time being. I read it's not really affected by the mining bullshyt like the other cards. I was looking at the 1070 initially but the 1080 is within 50-70 dollars of it. There's no point.

Quick question what software can I use to move my OS from my old hard drive to that SD drive
Samsung's software does it, but be warned, it might not level correctly. That happened to me when I used their software. There are programs to fix it though. It took me like a week to find out what was wrong with my Sammy SSD. I downloaded a program (can't remember the name) and it fixed it quickly.

Clean install is best, but cloning is so convenient. Just check your speeds. If the speeds aren't right it is probably a leveling issue (or whatever the fukk it's called)

Is that PSU enough for a 1080?
