SPECS:
I would like to upgrade my SSD, GPU, and RAM but sadly don't have the funds to do them all at once. Currently, my OS and Adobe apps are on the SSD while all project files and media are on the HDD. Also, my scratch disk/cache files are also on the same HDD.
Would I see the most performance improvement by getting another SSD solely for scratch disk/cache files?
Or would a RAM upgrade (32GB) be more beneficial?
What about upgrading my GPU to a GeForce GTX 750 ti? Would I see a market improvement in rendering, or would I be better suited to get a GTX 970?
Again, I plan on eventually upgrading all components but I just want to know the best order to make these purchases.
I currently am editing converted 4k (Samsung NX1) to ProRes 422 and doing mostly color correction in PP but would like to eventually dabble in 3D rendering/compositing via AE and Cinema 4D.
Thanks in advance.
