Guide in buying ssd and others

[Doge99]

I use this pc that i use 

Specs

AMD FX 4300

8 GB RAM 1333 Mhz

750ti 

1TB hard drive 

Gigabyte 78lmt-usb3 rev 5

My pc had become slow 

I have not reinstalled windows 10 since August 2016

I tried almost everything to improve the current OS

But the improvement is Neglectable

And reformating and installing may help or not I don't know 

And another problem is activation of windows but they are expensive 

I have seen the windows 10 retail keys available at a cheaper rate at some website (I am not going mention the website as I don't know if am allowed to specify any website link and get banned) 

I am looking for ssd for my pc but it may bottleneck the ssd via SATA II and PCIe is 2.0 and not 3.0

I have chosen Samsung evo and WD Blue ssd

(SATA) 

I like samsung but wd is also medium-good

But what fit better in this configuration

And my harddrive I'd over 5+ year old 

It maintains the average speed and it say good with no errors in the drive 

Does it last more or replace the drive with new drive

Thanks

And how can I take backup of the program that I use and game data

I would get any SSD from a reputable, brand. It will be a night and day difference.  I would also recommend re-installing your system, of course after backing up any of your important data. You could keep both drives in the system and use your mechanical drive as additional storage.

I am not aware of any counterfeit SSD's, so do not worry about that. I just use a cloud sync software for my important data, I do not use and program. Not sure what you are asking for

Yeah, that's how you end up with trash like the WD Green, any of Kingston's SSDs, Sandisk SSD PLUS, etc.

for long term use, I suggest BX500 (480~960gb) 

- price relatively cheap. and its Crucial. please prioritize SSD capacity first 

- you wont utilize its max speed anyway with sata3 3gb/s, roughly half of rated speed.

- a great value option for storage when you upgrade your pc,

well, there is nothing wrong with your WD 5400 rpm blue as OS, nothing shall go wrong (untill you hear squeecky / strange noise).

its windows 10 & chrome always stretching hard drives to 100%,and feel not snappy .

 so if can bare that with patience there is no need to get new one in urge
