PC - What should I upgrade

[Jesse Pinkman]

Current specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5-8400 2,8GHz Turbo Boost 4.0GHz
GPU: ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1060 AMP Edition (6GB)
HDD: Seagate ST1000DM010 1TB 7200rpm 64mb SATA 3.5 6GB/s
RAM: DDR4 8GB 2666MHz
PSU: Deepcool 700W PSU - DP-BZ-DA700N DA series 80 PLUS BRONZE
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME H310M-K 2DDR4 LGA1151

What should I upgrade to easily play more beefy games on maxed out graphics, games such as Rust (Loads very slow, I will be definitely purchasing SSD and can't run on max graphics), Squad, Arma 3, etc. As well as reduce 'slowed' PC, for example when playing a specific game for a while and leaving the said game, PC is being hella slow for a minute or two.

1. Get an NVMe SSD to replace that HDD. That one thing will make an unbelievably huge difference to your games and general computer performance. Everything will feel faster.
2. Get another 8gb stick of RAM

Everything else is good, but if you really want to, get a better graphics card.

An SSD is a deffo
Maybe an i7-8700k
another 8gb of DDR4 RAM
Depends on your budget tbh

Intel Core i7

i9 9900k
RTX 2080ti
64 GB DDR4 Ram

Yep this is true I just got a SATA SSD and switching from a 7200 RPM is like night and day. My computer feels new and my games load quite fast too.

100% get a SSD

 

[Ghast]

Definitely get:

1. SSD (240GB suggested)
2. Ram (8/24GB more)
3. Internet connected leds and amazon echo because why not.

I would buy an SSD and change cpu to new Ryzen 3rd generation coming up 7th July!

Does anyone have recommendations for RAM? I would appreciate a link to US amazon. (2x8GB, DDR4, under $100)

As for SSD, I was thinking Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500GB 2.5 inch SATA III (Is it any good?)

SSD + RAM, definitely. SSD could be from Samsung, they have kinda good SSDs. RAM maybe Fury?
