Ram http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231163
Hard drive - This hard drive is over 5x as large as your current one http://stores.channeladvisor.com/com...itemid=1896890 edit: You need one of these to actually transfer the data. http://reviews.cnet.com/storage-acce...6.html?tag=txt

I never listed a webcam, lol. The last link is something that transfers the data between the hard drives, you need that, and you likely need the ram.

No. I believe what he is saying is that after you put the new hard drive into the computer, you plug the old hard drive into that "ugly external usb thing" and transfer all your data and files into the new hard drive. Then you can unplug the old hard drive and not have to use it again.
