Is pouring a lot of money into a PCI-E SSD worth it? I don't really need a strong GPU.

If high read/write speeds are worth it to you, the average consumer SATA III ssds are enough for most people, even gamers .

[Pugs501]

NOPE!

Unless you are literately burning a giant hole in your pocket

[manikyath]

if you need a lot of storage bandwidth - yes.

 

but for regular ordinary storage plebs like most of us its not even close to necessary.

Ok sweet! Just curious tho, are PCI-E SSDs loading speeds that noticeable?

[MegaDave91]

I think it's fair to say the majority of us will continue using SATA III SSDs for a few years yet.

YES!

but it's not worth it

Go with SATA III SSD's

Most of the time every time, no. You wouldn't really notice the difference that much in day-to-day operations. It'd take some more advanced file transfer operations to really get your money's worth.

I would grab a regular 250 evo or something first to see how it changes your usage or workflow if you already don't have one yet.
