Default Upgrade? And SSD time!

I've had my current build rocking for about a year now, nothing too fancy but still runs pretty much everything at max and a solid 60fps.

My only complaint is the slow-ish start up, once we're up and running it's fine, but I am running a 1TB HDD. I was thinking about running a little SSD for all the essential stuff like booting up, and keep the HDD for storage? Any recommendations on SSDs?

Also, current spec being;

I5-4590 @ 3.3GHz
Z87 Gaming mobo
GTX770
16GB RAM
Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD
CX600W
H60 water cooler

Is it worth upgrading anything? I'm getting itchy feet and want to change something

Ben.

Samsung are doing a cracking deal on SSD's at the moment

Samsung 2.5-Inch 250 GB 850 EVO Solid State Drive: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories Samsung 2.5-Inch 250 GB 850 EVO Solid State Drive: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

And the Pro is just over £100, although the Evo model has been perfect in my laptop for the last 2 years.

And, no. If your current spec does everything you want then there is no point upgrading, bar the ssd which changes everything! Although you can probably get a good deal on a 3770K i7 which would drop straight in

Rob,

I would wait for black friday and cyber monday before buying an SSD. Amason will most likely have a few good deals.

Hola ! apostar es ciertamente interesante, sobre todo si te gustan los deportes, pero creo que el futbol como deporte a muchos de ustedes les gusta, pero recuerdan su desarrollo ? Aquí tenéis un artículo muy interesante https://elperiodicodeyecla.com/de-la...os-del-futbol/, en él podéis recordar el desarrollo de diferentes torneos, creo que os interesará esta lectura )
