Solve your own audio issues | First Steps with RPi 3 | Humidity & Condensation | Sleep & Hibernation | Overclocking RAM | Making Backups | Displays | 4K / 8K / 16K / etc. | Do I need 80+ Platinum?

Posted November 7, 2016 SSD. You'll notice the loading performance right away. Unless you already have an SSD. RAM only if you're constantly running out and that's after closing your 500 Chrome tabs (assuming you use Chrome and have 500 tabs) I have a blog!

Plus the 1080 has a ton of memory. So go SSD you will get load and performance benefits, adding 8gb more will Most likely give you none.

He already has a bx200 boot drive, mass storage ssd doesn't give huge benefits. I'd think 16 gigs of ram would be a little more beneficial .

Posted November 8, 2016 Get ram man. A mass storage ssd will shave a second or two off load times, but more ram will smooth things out all around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted November 8, 2016 Tough call.. wait until black Friday and get both? Lol.... I just can't hardly build a system without an SSD now days though so I would personally probably pick that up first, even though you are using a lot of resources with all those "my little pony" wikipedia tabs open.
