Posted January 21, 2016 Maybe get a HDD, I doubt 256 GB is going to last you very long.

Posted January 21, 2016 Author There are some things you should know btw1st My SSD is SATA III, so it can run up to 6GB/s and my motherboard supports max 3GB/s (SATA II) 2nd my father bought Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 2666MHz 8GB which i cant use sicne my motherboard supports DDR3. . . Was wondering about getting HDD, but i have laptop for data, and i want this dekstop to be a performance PC so data will be on laptop and apps on dekstop PC. Wanted to get +8/16 GB of RAm sicne i have 2 slots there doing nothing and i do intensive tasks for only 4GB of ram, but than father bought DDR4 :q So now... I am considering getting R9 too, since my CPU+MB are not that bad...or i think they are not that old/bad to be replaced, but considering what i have atm, i was wondering what should i do. . .. SDD runs very good even if it runs half of speed, but this DDR4 is useless now... Should i give like 500e more or so, just to use this 70e of DDR4 ? Is it worth it ?Thank you all for replying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 21, 2016 You should probably get more ram first, and the "Good amount" for gaming pc's is 8gb. You might also want to look into getting a newer cpu because it is first gen. Also, your gpu is pretty old. A good upgrade would be a gtx 960 4gb, or a r9 380x or 390. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it will need more energy than this old GPU ? And than if yes, do i need stronger fan for keeping temperature low ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
