Yes 550watts is enough.

With that you can easily run your CPU and a GPU like the RX 480, which would make it a very capable gameing pc.

DDR4 isnt really that big of a thing (for gameing atleast).

120gb is more than plenty for windows, just make it a point to always install games on your other HDD, ei makes "games" folder and install things there.

I'd probably have it dual booted with Linux and Linux as the primary partition, so something like 80/40 split. Can you install games on an external HDD? Sorry if noob question.

Yes ofc you can (you ll have to have it plugged in though, everytime you want to game).

Even those damn Apps can be installed other places than your main drive (incase you wanna get some windows store games).

Its really not a issue at all.

 

However external Drives can be slow at moveing data around. Its why most people just get internal ones (for stuff like gameing).

Is your external drive a USB 3.0 drive? that would help abit.

Otherwise Id just recammend you get a small extra 500gb internal HDD instead, theyre pretty cheap.
