[SOLVED] Microstuttering on new build

[maet4]

Hello. I posted here a while ago, asking about an issue I was having with my new build, which was microsttutering in games.
At that time I had:

• i5 9400f
• b360 asus mobo
• 8gb 2666mhz (1 stick)
• 1tb 7200rpm seagate barracuda
• 600w psu
• rx 460 2gb

I did some benchmarks and posted those here, was told the GPU was bottlenecking hard and it could also be the ram. So I bought another 8gb stick (same freq and latency, just in case) and a RX 580 4gb. The thing is I still have the stuttering and since I am playing CS:GO it is bothering me a lot. How can I troubleshoot this? I was told by a friend that some friend of him was having the same issue as me, with a really good build and installed a SSD, and that solved the thing. I dont know what to do...

An SSD would certainly be a worthwhile upgrade, regardless of whether it fixes your stuttering issue or not. I say, if you can afford it, go for it. ~500GB is a nice spot to be. What country are you in? Good 500GB SSDs cost about $60 in the USA.

Do you have both sticks of ram in the black OR grey slots?

I followed the motherboard's manual for RAM installation, I can say I installed them correctly.

Im from Argentina. I was planning on buying a 250gb or 500gb SSD in the future anyways, but if that doesn't fix the problem then I don't know... from my ignorance I was thinking that maybe a HDD is too slow for the other components I have and therefore that could cause problems but it is just my guess, some kind of streaming insufficiency. What brand makes good SSDs for gaming? was thinking about Crucial MX 500 or similar. (250gb is 64 u$d including shipping, and 500gb is 100 u$d, approx)

The MX500 is a good drive, yes.

As an MX500 owner, I highly recommend it.
