ok so here is my questions (im sure more will lead) i use my pc to run presonus studio one in 64 bit mode everything i use is in 64 bit at this time its easier for me to upgrade certain things than spending 1000 + on a new computer
1.I just learned about ssd drives and was thinking about running my os and presonus studio one off that and having a hybrid drive behind that for my kontakt samples and other vst will these work with my mother board?
2.if i do upgrade to a ssd would i have to upgrade my power?should i upgrade it any way?
3.it comes with a dual monitor card which i run a 32 inch tv and a 21 inch hp monitor should i get a video card ?would it take less stress off the computer?
4.it says on the website i can upgrade which i found an i7 on ebay for 80$ but it says i guess a new fan for it and heatsink grease?
5.it says upgradable up to 16gb ram what kind should i get?
6.i would also like to add some usb 3.0 on this computer for external hard drive i have two seagates one being years old that i want to get rid of
7.would it be easier to get a after market tower buy a new mobo and processor and use the rest exsisting?
ive been reading alot and to be honest dont think im ready to build my own and the new stock pcs dont really impress me missing alot of usb mine has fire wire now none of the new ones i have seen do that dont if anyone could help me with any of this i would be greatly appreciative
