UPGRADE: SSD vs PROCIE/MOBO/RAM

[archspace]

---

please share your first hand experience with using ssd. i would appreciate if you share your own inputs rather than give me a link to some other sites. (i have checked some of them) i just feel nga maau jud ang mga istoryans mo convince. lol

which upgrade is most beneficial in all around tasks?
a little gaming, movies, music, spreadsheets, browsing.

ssd? why?

procie/mobo/ram? why?

if SSD, what is an ideal size for this option? 40? 60? 120? (budget 5k max/anything lesser would be great )
what good ssd models should i buy and must avoid?

thanks in advance.

whats your specs?

[lloyd_joy]

bisan unsa ang speed CPU, dili useless ang SSD... ang benefit lang man nya kay faster boot up time, faster access time... then fast read & write... the last statement holds true labi na sa fast models... sa gi mention ni TS na spread sheets, gamit kaayo ang speed gain labi na dagko na kaayo ang size sa file.

basta, with respect ning speed gain if mechanical drive (HDD) ang i-compare sa SSD on the same hardware spec... sa games, sa access time lang ni maka benefit... but during the actual gaming time... "wala"... ang game mag depend sa CPU ug sa GPU...

depende on what your trying to do with your computer... SSD is good if ur using applications which reads/write on hdd most of the time. but if gaming ka or something else, i think a better videocard, decent size memory and good procie witth give better overall performance.

unsa diay imo current na setup karon?

If ur going for Ssd pero have a limited budget (5k). Try getting 40GB to 64GB ssd then use it on a Z68/z77 system. Kanang Intel SRT or SSD Caching. that way, u can combine it with a large capacity hdd for storage space while getting the benefits of ssd's speed and response time.

It also depends on ur current specs. If di kaayo daan imo current setup, sakto ra imo ram etc.

Lets wait for his specs first..

if you have an old system 2-3 generations old, kinanglan jud imo specs.

but if 1gen old imo rig, SSD.

apologies for not posting my specs...

q6600
4gig ram
gtx 460
23 inch aoc monitor (if this is significant)

i was planning to get an i3 or i5.. but i honestly do not feel the need for it. unless if pwerte na jud lag or dli nko kadula sa games. i dont play crysis, bf3 etc. (napul.an nko dula2x gud) kanang mga games na need jud ug highend vcard for better fps. i was thinking of just minor upgrades and invest later when there is really a need for major upgrades on the entire system.

btw, thanks sa mga reply.
