Solve : Help with upgrading my rig? |
|
Answer» So, i'm upgrading my rig and kind of in a budget. I plan on going for :
I'm worried about the next upgrade, because the MoBo has only 2 slots. Is it WORTH going DualChannel for now but in the future swapping 1x4gb for 1x8gb = 12GB , instead of going 1x8GB single now and later going for 2x8GB dual ? Oh - Are RAM FREQUENCIES really game-changing? I plan on going 2133 , because HIGHER frqcs are really expensive in my country. Last thing - I think i can go for 240GB SSD, but i would like to go for something cheaper (120GB) if i could. Is 240GB a must-go or can 120GB hold it? Also, please, i'm doing everything the cheapest i can, so i don't plan on going for another mobo or processor. Computer will be used for gaming / photoshop / lightroom. Thank you upfront! Toldya earlier ...for dual channel RAM's need to match... As to the SSD a 120 is a waste of money...it'll be full in no time...PS...photoshop and budget PC is a crapshoot...yer choice.noodles, to give you some idea, my 120GB SSD has 52GB used. that's just Windows 10, Office 2016, Acrobat, iTunes (just to name the big BOYS) - no games. breakdown of folders is Windows - 18GB, Program Files - 11GB, Users - 3GB, and my personal files - 21GB you want to add some whoppers like Photoshop, Lightroom and games so 120GB is getting tight without too much effort. then consider reserving 10% of the SSD space for over-provisioning and the 250GB size is looking attractive right from the get-go. +1 |
