Hello,
I have my PC since 2013 and I’ve been pretty happy with it’s performance, but I’m starting to notice a need for better performance, since cash isn’t abundant right now I’m thinking on getting a budget upgrade. My current system is:
CPU Intel i7 4770 3.4GHz
MBO Asus Z87 plus
GPU Nvidia GTX 770 2GB Vram
RAM 2x 8GB DDR3
SSD Samsung 250GB 840 basic
HDs 2TB, 3TB and 4TB drives
PSU Cooler Master G 700w
My main use is to edit photographs in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, some video editing in Davinci Resolve, ocasional Cinema 4D modeling and render and some videogames on spare time.
My SSD is always full, like often less than 10gb free, so getting a new one is crucial. Thinking on getting a Samsung 1TB one and cloning the current 250 tb to the new one.
Besides this, I’m thinking on getting 2 more 8Gb DDR3 sticks (to double my current RAM) and getting a new GPU to help with photo and video editing (new AI algorithms use the GPU a lot) and of course to be able to play some newer games. For this I’ve seen that the general opinion of the best budget GPU is the Nvidia GTX 1660 super, but no idea if my mainboard supports this card.
So what do you guys think of this? Would you opt for anything different or anything additional to this with a budget-friendly approach?
My budget will be around 400 to 450 eur.
Thanks in advance.
