32GB ram or 500GB SSD

[Redjo]

Hello guys what is worth for me: 

 

32GB ram instead of 16 with X99A SLI mobo  1692€              

or 

16GB ram with 500GB SSD instead of 250GB ssd 1681€

 

Does ram impact video editing?

Depends on if you need the extra ram or not.

Are you running out of ram currently?

If you need to ask, it means you don't

[SkepticKrab]

I guess if your going to be doing ALOT of video editing with big projects, go with the 32GB

[ShadowCaptain]

Do you need more ram? honestly most people dont need more than 16gb, but depends what exactly you do

SSD is essential IMO, have nearly 2tb of it inside my PC now

[mrgooglegeek]

I suggest SSD but like others said it depends on what you use the system for.

for x99, get 4 quad channel rams if you're doing cpu intensive tasks

be it 4x4gb or 4x8gb

[ChunkeyGandalf]

SSD all the way man

Just some YouTube video editing, streaming, gaming, heavy multitasking but not HUGE, EXTREME, MAGNIFICENT projects.

I'm working on a video about this right now and 16 gb is 122% the speed of 8. So I think that 32 gb of ram may just be worth it for video editing

Can you explain how ram going to help me on video editing, does it make it faster or something? [Sorry real amateur here] 

[Moonzy]

i recommend 16gb ram + 500gb SSD, since you're working on videos you might as well store them in the ssd, fast access

 

can always add another 4 dimms to make it 32gb later

Helps with large projects, decreases load times, helps with skimming.

I was testing render speeds. But it will most likely help in other places too. My next purchase in another 16 gb ram so I can have 32.

Someone told me that its not an option to add another 16later, because you can have some issues, if you know what i mean.

if your board has 8 dimm slots, i dont see why not

then again im not a ram expert

[DioOmicida]

I'd get the SSD over the RAM. Another 16 gigs of Ram is a cheaper upgrade a few months from now than another SSD will be.

No i mean you can have something like maching issues like when you buy 'X' model of ram at 16GB now, then you have to find exact same model or something later..... and sometimes even when its exact same model it still have issues, they told me.

thats for when you're using them in the same channel

 

the chances arent as high when you use them in different channels

[Redjo]

Ok guys decision was made: 

 

16GB RAM // 500GB SSD. 

 

Thank you all, i really appreciate it! 

Best of luck!
