New CPU for basic desktop

Go to solution Solved by Noilliz,

Well it sounds like all the products will do just fine, The old computer still has 2x2GB 1333Mhz DDR3 ram inside it. I assume that there is no need for a replacement there.

 

and about the SSD, it sounds like the Kingston SSDNow V300 will do its job just fine. But i found that the Crusial M500 has exacly the same price and storage size. A slightly higher read speed but the write speed is a lot lower. What do you guys think

 

Kingston SSDNow V300 or Crusial M500

Posted

i must admit crucial M500 if at the same price for same size i would go with it...

SSD: Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB (450MB/s Read / 450MB/s Write) €59,90

SSD: Crucial M500 120GB (500 MB/s Read / 130MB/s Write) €60,98

 

In that case we go with the Crucial M500, the read speed seems more important then the write speed

yes i agree, it as a longer life expectancy as well... (1 200 000 hrs vs 1 000 000 hrs)

1 000 000 hrs is still 114.15 years, but hey!

Better performance overall...it's a better product, no doubt
