Posted August 24, 2019 I am not really experienced in the PC building thing I know stuff but I dont know what works with what and what is the most important to upgrade next. So my PC specs rn is: GPU: GTX 1050ti 4GB CPU Ryzen 3 1300x Ram: 8GB DDR4 Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING there is no SSD. Yeah that's it I think, I use the PC for gaming (PUBG,GTA V, R6, LOL, looking to get new COD )and one program for studying (AutoCAD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 24, 2019 Get a large SSD. At least 512GB. You'll be blown away by the difference it makes, especially for games like GTA V. Quote or mention me or I won't be notified of your reply!

If you plan to install Windows on it, get one much larger than you need. Software installers are annoying and try installing to the C drive without asking (usually large applications). I reccomend 512GB, especially if you plan to install Visual Studio with more than 2 or 3 frameworks. Quote or mention me or I won't be notified of your reply!

What you call memory card is imo SD cards and SODIMM for laptops only. It's a stick for desktop, which the entire package from whoever you bought from is known as a kit.

Posted August 24, 2019 Just now, zaidh99 said: So I should stick to 1x8 2400 ? best option is of course, get 2x8gb 3000MHz or higher frequency. Otherwise, I'd say you should improve in frequency and stick to the same capacity by not using the 2400MHz stick since performance gain from frequency and dual channel is noticeable.
