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
For the storage you have an additional option: converting a PCIe slot to M.2 Nvme is possible with a passive addin card. This way you could keep the current OS drive and add a 2TB m.2 instead of a SATA one. Since M.2s are quite cheap I went this route last year. Just be warned that secondary x16 slots are slower: it looks like 2.0 x4 for the b450-a pro max.
Do whichever one or 2 you can afford but upgrade to a 5700x, add an SSD, and 32GB for extra breathing room for Windows
