Hey,
I'm looking to upgrade my PC, but I'm stuck between whether i should upgrade my CPU first, Or get an SSD for some faster load times.
Specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II 945 @ 3.0Ghz
GPU: Nvidia GTX 660
RAM: 12GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1333Mhz
Storage: 2TB Seagate Barracuda
Mobo: Gigabyte 970-DA (it's AM3+)
Parts in mind:
CPU: AMD FX-8320 (Or 8350, but i think i could just overclock an 8320 and get the same performance)
SSD: Samsung EVO 840 (Probably 120GB)
CPU i can get from anywhere between $170-$210,
I can get the SSD off Amazon for about 80 bucks.
What i do mainly on my PC is first and foremost Gaming, but i also do quite a lot of video editing and photoshop work as well.
I'm not sure whether i should get one before the other, or both at the same time. I'd having a hard time deciding whether one should take precedence over the other.
Thanks,
