... I name an (internal) alarm signal ALARM_FUR_COBRA11.
And now I'm stuck with the opening soundtrack in my head.

You have so many furry snakes in the office you need a special alarm for them? 
I'd need a vacation as well - and I like snakes!

I am thinking of having the following system built in the cheapest case I can find. I will then transfer the 3 HDs and DVD R/W out of my old system to complete the build. Are there any changes you would make?
Intel Core i7-6700 Skylake 3.40 GHz Quad Core Socket 1151 Processor
8GB x 2 HyperX Black Fury DDR4 2133MHz Memory Module
Asus Z170M-Plus, Intel Z170A, DDR4, 4 X Slots, Max Memory Support 3466 MHz, 2 x USB 3.0, 2 x USB 2.0 VGA | HDMI | DVI Motherboard
High Quality Standard Cooler
MSI R7 240 AMD 2 GB Radeon Graphics Card

Dump one of the HDD's and replace it with an SSD.
The difference to load times - both OS and app - is so great it changed the way I work, because I can load apps fast enough to not leave them running "in case I need them again" - which frees up RAM and makes everything else work faster.

Good point! An SSD enhances the experience extremely, even if its just an 128gb SSD that contains the OS and "heavy" apps like Visual Studio and Office.
My current Disk setup (which is currently changing) is 1 128GB SSD for OS and productive Apps, 2x WD 10k rpm disks with 300GB to provide a faster access on programs that don't fit the SSD (one is going to be replaced though by a 2TB DataStore), 1x 600GB standard HDD and 1x 1Tb DataStorage.
The small HDD's are going to be replaced by bigger ones that have standard specs cause the SSD basically fills up everything that needs fast reading. Maybe a Hybrid would also be good for huge dataloads

I assume the SSD would replace the operating system disk. (The other two disks hold only data.) That would mean a complete re-install of Win10 and all my other programs. I was hoping to get away without doing that.
|
|

|

That's the idea, yes - OS and Apps go on the SSD, data on the HDD (because it changes more).
But a re-install isn't necessarily needed - when I switched in February, I used AOMEI Partition Assistant[^] to move it - it has a "Migrate OS to SSD" wizard which did it all for me. Took less than 30 minutes for Win10 and all my apps and it did the whole thing for me! (And it's free, which is truly amazing)
Win 10 didn't even ask for a key or complain about anything!

Thanks for that very useful information, OG. With it being that easy, I will definitely look at switching to an SSD. After all, I am building the new machine to get the maximum speed out of it.
I presume I need to install the current HD and the SSD and boot up Win10 from the HD, install AOMEI Partition Assistant and then do the transfer from HD to SSD. I presume I would then have to alter the boot order in the BIOS to boot from the SSD.

|

Pretty much, yes.
IIRC, AOMEI sorted out the boot order for me as well, so I didn't have to do it.
And it makes a huge difference!
I got a SanDisk Ultra II 960GB which is fast enough and cost me £160 (plus a SATA III interface card as my MB only supported 2 * SATA II connections and I needed three anyway: SSD, HDD, and DVD) and I can load VS2013 and the complete solution in 7 seconds - ready to start typing!

I've just added a 240GB SSD to my new machine spec. My current system disk is only using 130GB at the moment and that holds all the progs I currently use including MS Office 2016, Visual Studio Community 2015 and SQL Server 2014 Management Studio.

To add to Griff's good advice: Take a look at Samsung's 850 PRO series of SSD's. They are more expensive than the "regular" EVO series, but are based on a new technology which is supposed to greatly extend their life. Go for PRO if you can afford it. My 512GB cost me $217.
Warning: Leave the Samsung CD in its sleeve. You don't need it. The drive works great out-of-the-box. The Samsung software will offer to upgrade your drive's firmware. Do NOT do this. A great many Amazon customers complained that it totally ruined their drives.
Is the BIOS on your main board capable of booting UEFI? Do you want a legacy or UEFI boot? See this (My apologies for the plug):

I did that a little while ago, also following OG's advice. Worked as expected.

OTOH the amount of time I spent a year ago trying to get my windows install to migrate from an i7-920 to an i7-4990k I could've reinstalled the OS, all my applications, and all my configurations. *TWICE*
The first time was over hardware differences; most notably BIOS/MBR to UEFI/GPT. The second ultimately turned out to be from wreckage of a decadish old obsolete task scheduler hack to work around a problem that was IIRC fixed a month or so after I put the kludge in place that decayed into registry rot.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

did you fix your machine ? graft everything into a new case with decent psu ?

Oh yes!
200W became 500W, fans got supersized, and the new case even has a mounting for the SSD drive!
