Hi. I stream on Twitch. I'm not a huge streamer, which is fine with me. I have a small community that I'm happy with. The computer I have for streaming is acting up. It's giving me a lot of problems while I'm streaming and I'm pretty sure it's got a bad motherboard. I ordered another computer to replace it. I'm not expecting to get it until next week. I'm not exactly thrilled about the brand I had to get but... It's got a better gpu and cpu than what I have right now, it's what I could afford and it's getting to me in a decent time frame. I was looking at more expensive brands on other websites (NZXT and others), and while I would have shelled out the extra, I can't wait for the computer for the amount of time they said it would take. Maybe in the future I can, but at the moment it's not possible.

Anyway, I went to look at the information on the computer I ordered, and I realized it doesn't come with an internal HDD. I'm a bit annoyed by that because WHY would that not be considered necessary? Reading the reviews, a lot of people said they added their own HDD, so I'm assuming I'll be able to do the same. I would like to be able to order the HDD now so I can get it installed when my new computer gets here. I was wondering if there's a specific brand that I should get that will work best with the already installed equipment and if I need to look for anything specific in how it's made or if it doesn't matter and I could order whatever? I'm attaching the link to the computer I'm getting so you can see the specs to get an idea of what I'll be working with.

Thanks so much. I appreciate any reply.

The specs at your link say that there are two internal 3.5" bays so you can fit your own HDD.

See answered question here which mentions locating the SATA ports on the MB.

WD Black HDDs are good, solid and reliable devices, you can check the prices for the various capacities here

Yes, it has an SSD, but I want an HDD, which I thought it has and it doesn't. I realize there isn't a huge difference, but I'd still like to add an HDD. I don't like my computer to only have one drive.
