What do I upgrade?

[SHG_Marsh]

I currently have 120 dollars and getting maybe 50 more soon. I am spending around 70 Dollars on a new mouse and that leaves me with around 100. Should I get more ram sticks or new ram. Or should I get an AIO? I would get the AIO just to make my pc look cooler. I have an S340 case and I am using the 2 front slots for bringing air in. (I think I might need to have an AIO with one fan.  Also I only really game and watch youtube/netflix. I don't stream or anything. What would be more worth my money?

So you want to either get more ram, or an AiO with $100? And $70 for a mouse?

Yes, but I'm asking for clarification.

What are your full specs?
No point getting an AIO if your current heatsink is good enough. It also won't give you better performances, unless your CPU was thermal throttling... which is unlikely. So there's no point. (Not to mention, a good air cooler from the likes of Noctua is not only cheaper, but just as good if not better than an AIO)

ok but does more ram do anything? I have 2 4gb sticks

@SHG_Marsh for the mouse, assuming ur in the US, u can get a steelseries rival 650 used for under $70. How much RAM do you have now? You may not need an upgrade in RAM if you have 16gb or above.

I would post, rival 650 or dark core in peripherals. Ask about it.

I did and I settled on corsair because the rival 650 is 120.

Ok so the 650 and more ram is a good idea?

I would think so, yes. The sensor is definitely better, looks are subjective. How much ran do you have right now?

I have 8gb (2 4gb sticks)

Yeah I would get 8 more gigabytes. Here's one with RGB. You can also lower the speed if you want to make it cheaper, but if you have a ryzen system, I wouldn't lower past 3000 MHz.

I would just sell off the 2x4GB and go with a clean 2x8GB setup. 4 channel is a weird spot to be at, and if the current RAM is at a slow speed, it's gonna drag the new kit down with it.
