what os are you using.?

another 4gig of ram could be a possibility.?

no needs for new Ram!
for £80 there's nothing you need, maybe CPU cooler, case fans if u need or add Hdd.

it would help a good deal if he uses vista x64....so what you on about......

For £80 there's not much worth getting. That being said, how on earth are you surviving with 320GB of HDD space? I think I may have found what you're looking for.

Sell the 9800GTX and get a 4870?

TV Card, Blu Ray player / recorder.

Angst · 31 Jan 2009 at 20:24

on vista x64
and im only on a 720p tv so the card fine as it will run crysis on high

As said blu ray player, extra hdd if you need it, keyboard/mouse/printer, extra case fans..

with that ssd as os drive will the be enough space because dont all my programs get installed on there aswell as i currently have atleast 40gb of games installed

StephenLawUK · 1 Feb 2009 at 13:06

well unless you have more money you can put towards a higher capacity SSD you would need to install what you wanted on the SSD then on some applications and games that maybe you dont mind the slower speed of you can install to your current hard drive, easy enough to do when installing games etc it gives you an option as to where to install and you just choose the other drive. The load times and read/write performance of SSD's are really nice compared to normal drives

Also if you saved up another £60 in future you could raid 0 them and get some amazing speeds and then move the other applications over too.

Angst · 1 Feb 2009 at 13:42

y would it cost me more to raid them
sorry for all the questions i am new to the multiple hdd thing

StephenLawUK · 1 Feb 2009 at 13:51

raid 0 setup would be 2 SSD's configured together for better performance e.g. if you had £60 more you could get 2 SSD's for your setup or you could change to it at a later date.

ok thanks for the replys i have just bought an ocz 32gb ssd
