Okay, I seriously appreciate all your help! thank you so much

the Samsung 960 EVO (https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-960-EVO-Internal-MZ-V6E500BW/dp/B01LYFKX41?th=1) and Samsung 850 EVO (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OBRE5UE/ref=twister_B00PRDMHLU?_encoding=UTF8&th=1) seems like you get twice as much memory if you got the SSD for around the same price.would a little extra speed be better or a little extra storage? I'm really kind of just torn right now

I do run the Adobe programs like Photoshop and Premiere Pro decently often. that's one of the main reasons I need more storage. The temporary files fills up my drive really fast. so I'm basically hearing is I should probably just go for an SSD 850 EVO unless there is an NVMe for the same storage capacity with a close price? what type of NVMe would you recommend? (it would have to be M.2 Socket 3, with M Key) that's the type of thing that it is.

as I said before I even knew when it comes to this stuff so I'll be a little nervous doing RAID 0. since RAID isn't really an option for me/too nervous to try it. should I really go for an NVMe or should I just stick with the SSD EVO?

right now I'm currently running an SSD 850 Evo 250GB actually! if I do get another one do you think you would be worthwhile doing a clean start? having the OS and some programs like Adobe on one and then games etc on the other?

Thank you for responding everyone! I think I'm starting to understand it a lot more which I greatly appreciate. and my plan is to either move my OS or the majority of my games onto it since the SSD that I have right now is borderline on full. wouldn't be just a better idea to get a "normal SSD" for future proofing? also what kind of SSD to you guys recommend?

Hello, I have a Z170 Pro Gaming motherboard. Right now I have one SSD and one hard drive I'm looking to get more storage and I'm not sure exactly if I should get one more SSD or an M.2 if I were to get an M.2 the website says for my motherboard: 1 x M.2 Socket 3, with M Key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 storage devices support (both SATA & PCIE mode) I'm not that well acquainted with M.2 and I'm not sure if it would be better to just get an SSD. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I do believe that system memory and RAM are basically the same thing and I have 16 GB

I kind of need Java to run Minecraft… and it was doing the same thing when I was playing Star Wars Battlefront II I just didn't get any screenshots of it.

I have been playing and streaming Star Wars Battlefront II beta for a long time with great FPS, but at some point, it started to get quite laggy. I just figured that it's because it's a more intensive game and maybe it can't handle it as well. It was pushing the CPU all the way to 100% After the beta finished I went back to playing and streaming Minecraft. my computer is extremely strong and is able to handle Minecraft but it beginning to crumble and I was only getting 20 FPS (Without streaming I have been getting about 40 FPS, still not that great). important computer parts that I think you might need to know: CPU: I5-6600K GPU: GTX 1060 gaming of republic Motherboard: z170 gaming I thought that I might have a virus on my computer so I did multiple scans with Norton but it did not detect anything. the CPU has been running about 50% then all the tasks combined. If I have Minecraft at 20% with a few applications open like a couple browsers and then normal pieces stuff what should add up to about 26 or so it's the CPU will be at 45%. I have absolutely no idea What is happening and a bit worried that I might have a virus on my computer. If anyone could help me out that would be fantastic.
