Hi to everyone,
I wish to upgrade my PC a little.
It is an old build but as I don't play new video games, I don't need to buy a new high tech rig.
My only requirement is for it to work as it should and run older video games well.
So here is the build.
GPU nVidia GTX 560Tix2 SLI, 2x4=8GB RAM, AMD FX8350, Asus Sabertooth 990FX MB, HDD :/.
I wish to upgrade the RAM, GPU and buy SSD
GPU- Is the 1050Ti will be a good choice?
Won't it be bottlenecked by the CPU?
RAM- as I read on Asus website the motherboard supports only DDR3 1866/1600/1333/1066 Hz.
but it is also saying that the CPU only support DDR3 1066Hz.
Is this correct? Or shoud I buy 1600 DDR3 16GB?
SSD- What is the best and cheapest SSD that I can buy?
I read the Linus (techtips) that cheap SSDs don't have flash memory and as such will stop working after 3-4 years.
While more expensive will work for +5 years.
Which one should I buy for running windows?
Will be grateful for your tips.
Thanks,
