Hi all,

 

       Thank you for checking my post. As the title suggests, I need help on which new PC hardware I should buy. Let's start with specs:

 

 

Main Rig:

AMD FX-8350

M5A78L-M USB3

24gb Crucial Ballistix Sport @ 1600mhz

128gb ssd (Old 750gb hard drive failed ?)

GTX 1050ti 4GB GDDR5

 

Secondary Rig:

AMD FX-8320

Same mobo 

8gb Kingston HyperX Fury @ 1600mhz

256gb SSD

GTX 730 1GB GDDR5

 

Obiously I use the main rig for more demanding games on high, but some games drop frames on ultra. Sometimes I go on the secondary one because why not, and the bottleneck graphics card pisses me off. However, my SSD on my main rig is full, and I need to either buy a new graphics card, or SSD. Any input is appreciated. I would like to keep the upgrade under $300 USD.

 

Cheers,

Ace

When it came to naming my account I was bored.

Yeah, I like that price range, but the read/write looks a little worse than the MX300, don't you think? (I have prime, so amazon preferred).
