Solve : What Next??

Answer»

I am In the process of upgrading my computer (self built) I got some really good advice for a video card and want to get some advice on what to upgrade next. I mean what would you guys get next, more Memory, I have 4GB of ram. Or should I get a larger harddrive, I want to get a terabyte , currently have 500GB hard drive. Which would benefit me most to PURCHASE first? Thanks. My specs are posted on (Computer specs)If your constantly running out of HD, i'd GO with larger, otherwise of you STILL have plenty of storage, then go for the extra RAM. If your like me and have a 500GB SATA and only 12GB free ( my current situation ), you would want to get a larger drive or get rid of stuff you dont need to free up space. I am thinking of upgrading to 1TB or 1.5TB as xmas present to self. For PERFORMANCE it helps to have at least 40% free I have been told, as for as the drives start to get jam packed they slow down due to extended seek times even if defragmented which Windows 7 is pretty good at defragging on the fly.

Also my friend made the upgrade from 4GB Ram to 8GB (same speed matched pair- Corsair ) and didnt see any jaw dropping IMPROVEMENT in performance with Windows 7 64bit, but at least he is ready for any future game that may require more than 4GB Ram. A memory benchmark showed some better performance, but it wasnt much. He is running a Intel Pentium E5400
