Hi All,

I have a 2-3 years Old computer and have a little budget for an upgrade.

As I have a 512 Go M.2 SSD, I was thinking about ugrading. But not sure what to do.

  • Buy a 2To Samsung 990 Pro with Heatsink
  • Buy a SATA SSD I would use for storage and Keep my 512Go M.2 for my OS
  • Buy a 1To M.2 SSd and a SATA SSD

What’s the best Idea? Anything Else that would be worth upgrading:

AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3400Mhz MSI B450-A PRO MAX GeForce RTX 2080 16 GB of RAM Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 500GB

I’m basicaly only playing Apex, other small games, and doing admin stuff. Thank you for your help

    I disagree with the idea of upgrading RAM. 16GB will be fine for at least a few more years.

    1. Add an additional SSD. 500GB in almost 2024 is unusable except for editing txt files.

    2. Maybe get a second monitor if you don’t have one. 1080p 120Hz TN should be pretty cheap.

    3. Update the CPU to anything X3D. There’s some relatively cheap X3D options now.
