I'll getting a new pc i5 4460 3.4ghz, 8gb ram and a 2gb 128 bit videocard.

I want to get a 256gb ssd, will I have to redownload eso from steam?

Can I transfer my old hdd from my old pc to my new pc, how?
Without losing the eso everything I installed in my old hdd.

Will the 256gb ssd help in playing eso coz i get dropped framerate.

Installing ESO on your new SSD may improve the game's performance, but there are many factors involved so we couldn't really say for sure that it will or by how much. Your new rig sounds like it will run ESO quite nicely, though.

If you re-download the game, you won't lose any of your progress.

When it comes to hardware, we can't make any specific recommendations. It may be helpful for you to compare them on a site like gpuboss.com, however.

OP, for most of graphics cards, I tend to stick with Nvidia. I've had AMD cards in the past and although they are OK, it seems that Nvidia has the upper hand when it comes to GPU technology.

And concerning your computer system, keep in mind that framerates are dependent on the GPU AND CPU. They both work together in giving you the overall framerate for your system. The SSD won't help with that, although it might speed up the initial game loading.

To not have to reinstall this game or any other your best choice is to clone your hard drive. There is software that does this.

Save your ESO files as currently there is a issue quite a few of us are experiencing trying to download and install this game. An issue that after almost 2 weeks, still has no solution provided to.

ssd makes hardly no difference in eso

Thank you very much for the answer, can I please have a follow up question?

What would you suggest for a video card, nvidia or amd?
I was considering the nvidia 750 2gb 128 bit ddr5 or,
the amd r7 370 2gb 128 bit ddr5.

Thanks in advance.

More power and God Bless.
