Its been awhile since i've been around the building scene. What would people recommend I upgrade next if anything? I must admit a bigger SD would be handy as Ive come close to filling couple of times.

Below is the custom pc i ordered from OC earlier on in the year.

Bigger SSD as 128GB must disappear rapidly.

Everything looks fine to me. You could either buy a bigger SSD, or else maybe another monitor. 16nm graphics won't be around for another 6 months but that would be the next logical upgrade.

I agree: get yourself a bigger SSD.

Get an identical SSD and Raid 0

SSD and probably a bigger HDD too, copy your stuff across, then use your 1tb for dedicated storage of whatever you enjoy - films, tv, music etc

Bigger SSD for sure, not even sure why that was so small considering other components. You must be bored if you are thinking about upgrades now with that system

Try RAM disk or a PCI SSD. VR headset?

As above, the SSD would help of course but really, that's still an excellent system that I couldn't see any average user pushing for a while yet!

Don't do this if you value your data. The performance increase is great in theory (and in benchmarks) but will you actually notice the difference? No.

Cheaper than a 500gb ssd no?
