Hello all.
Today i must back to my old PC.
I will trying installing Zorin Core. I hope it will be working.
If you got a 64 bit CPU and more than 4GB RAM it should work for a basic needs. If you are planning to use some heavy apps, 8GB RAM would be better.

You have more than enough.
As you have already known, Linux is very economical when it comes to computer resources

When put lsblk my ssd have 29 GB i will install only spotify on then no games.
It is a little too small but if you know what to install on it then it should be OK.
I once was running Peppermint OS on 7GB space on the eMMC. It was challenging but I learnt a lot about a file system of Linux.

Is it 32 bit CPU?
Then your choice is somewhat restricted.

This is Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200/2nd
Far...Far...Far..........Too Small! You could only install Bionic Pup on a drive that small. And even then, you will only be surfing the web on it.
Recommended SSD size today is 128GB minimum, 256GB recommended. And again, those are still minimum's, those drives are not for going all out with a computer, its just having space flexibility to use your computer properly.
For people that do multi-media with their PC as well as surf the web, I recommend 512GB. If your doing production work or gaming, the recommended jumps up to 1TB minimum now.
Main Computer have little more place.
Disk 4 is Zorin Pro
Yeah, thats the computer that has many hard drives. I made a comment about that, and you told me to not worry as you had enough watts in that PSU to power all of them.
I have 4 SSDs and a 860W PSU - The cooling fan never kicks in. This might have been an overkill.

I've never heard any Linux user who got their GPU damaged by a Malware.

There is no kill like overkill! Go big, or go home!
Its in my greatest of opinions that you did the right thing. You know what happens when you do the wrong thing with power supplies?
I know someone who upgraded their computer with a higher performance GPU for gaming. But he's not the sharpest tool in the shed, and well, he neglected to upgrade the power supply.
And since his power supply wasn't a high quality one with special protections, he overloaded the original power supply, and he fried components in the process. So whats the lesson here?
It is wise to have more power then you need, then to require more power, and not have it.
