Help with next upgrade
Help with next upgrade
Have been building up this PC over the past couple years. Runs well but am trying to figure out what the best upgrade would be at this point. My guess is memory, but I’m not sure. Budget is flexible but would like to stay under $300. Thanks!
edit to clarify this is a gaming rig
You're viewing a single thread.
Memory seems like an easy win, but it's really about what are you currently limited by?
So in your most used application, or game, what is your current bottleneck?
Is your memory mostly used? Is your CPU high? Are you getting thermally throttled? Is your disc thrashing?
Profiling your main use case, will let you know what you want to improve, give you the easy wins. Cuz you could easily upgrade anything in your system right now, but you may not notice any improvement depending on your use case
You don't list your storage here, I don't know what you're currently using, but if NVMe make sense for you, that might improve load times
Thanks. Good call I should try and take a better look at how the system runs while gaming. Not NVMe but am running ssd for storage. While try and figure out the best way to check on performance while gaming and see what I get back.
