You should reuse HDD for additional storage.

With gpu

Reusing gtx960, overall more "future proofed" if you wanna drop 200$~ on gpu later on.

You just format your hdd and install Windows on your ssd.
You can find your key multiple places.

I5 if fine for gaming. Won't bottleneck before you get up to a gtx 1080ti and 1080p
