I plan to upgrade my PC and I need some advice on how to do it. These are my specs:
Case: SG-ZX3-NF BLACK (Segotep)
PSU: Corsair CX750 - 750W
CPU: i7-4790 CPU @3.6GHz
Motherboard: ASUS Z97M-PLUS
RAM: Kingston 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
GPU: Sapphire Radeon R9 280X 3GB Dual-X Video Card
HDD: Western Digital 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
The most obvious would be a new 8 GB RAM stick. Does it need to be the same maker and model, or just the frequency/size needs to be the same?
Secondly, a gpu upgrade. Is it worth it to add another R9 280x for crossfire (Can i even do that? Not sure if my current mobo/psu/case combo supports another one), or should i just replace the old one?
Thirdly, as you may have seen, i have no SSD, so i may need to add one. Can i do that? Also, if i get one, is there a way to move my current Windows 10 there? (my original windows 7 disk got destroyed).
My budget would be 400-500$ (i can up that, but only if absolutely necessary) and the rig's purpose is mainly gaming. I have a 23' 1080p monitor, so i may upgrade that to a 1440p one (But the monitor is on a different budget).
Thank you in advance.
