Memory over SSD/PSU?

[BulkyZaNka]

Hi lads, sorry if I put this in the wrong section as this involves 3 different ones. I have a Intel i7 4790k and just bought a MSI R9 390. I had a 4Gb X 2 kit from Corsair but one of the sticks died. I have a 1TB HDD that over time has accumulated several bad sectors. I have a 650W PSU which I calculated to be just enough to run the i7 and the 390 without any oc (Which I do plan). I was wondering with a budget of 150Euro should I get a SSD, Ram or would the PSU be a must? I would preferable like to get the RAM as I think that's the thing holding me back the most and if for example I was able to get a kit of 4GB X 3 at the same speed from Corsair I would get the most value and still get to use the old RAM.

 

Thanks Bulky

650 should be more then enough and room to OC

 

8 gigs is enough to handle modern games (for now)

16+ for content creators+avid multitaskers

 

go for a SSD and 4 gigs  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Another 4GB stick and a 250GB SSD.

SSD and ram. You can get another 4GB stick and still have plenty of cash to buy a 240-250GB ssd.

 

Edit: dammit im late

I purposely went for the 390 over the 970 because of future proofing. I would like to go for overkill in RAM that would last me next 3-5 years. If I got a 4GB stick, would it be alright to get another 2 4GB sticks later on?

i'd just throw out the  4gb you get and get another 4x2 kit

make sure their the same voltage btw

If it's going to go to waste, might as well put it in. What about latency tho? Does it matter if they are different sizes?

Yup, it should be fine. Im ruinning 3x1600MHz and 1x1333MHz ram on my PC ATM Its not perfect but it does its job. It'd be best if you get same latencies/voltages on all the sticks though.

not really, just keep it close

Alright, Thanks.
