what should I upgrade next?

[William-Mathew]

Hey guys

I have got about £100 to put into my system.

My current specs are:

CPU - AMD 6350 (On stock cooler)
Mobo - Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3
RAM - 8GB Teamgroup Vulcan red 2400MHz
GPU - VTX 3D R9 280X 3GB
PSU - Corsair RM 850 (was offered it for a really low price)
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 1000GB
Case - Corsair 450d

I am thinking of sticking a 120GB SSD in and putting windows and battlefield 4 as I play BF4 a lot. I would like a high read speed but I am not to bothered about the write speed.

Thanks for any suggestions

Will

Yep an SSD is next, a MX100 is like £70-80.

You maybe limited by your boards lack of SATAIII but it will still blow the doors off a HDD

Nope.

Right, I have narrowed it down to 2 SSD's

Corsair:

Samsung:

Regardless of the price, which one would you go for?

Samsung is best out those two

pay a few quid more and get double the capacity? no brainer really...

YOUR BASKET
1 x Crucial MX100 256GB SATA 2.5” 7mm SSD + 9.5mm Adapter (CT256MX100SSD1) £79.99

Right, just about to buy the crucial MX100 256gb and the only problem I have about it is moving windows onto it. Is it easy to do? or should I just do a clean install onto the SSD?

 

[tamzzy]

if you have your original key (or if not, then just use jellybean keyfinder)
and reinstall windows and reactivate it via phone

I have the key for it. Do I just do a factory reset?

This question makes it sound like you don't have the install DVD?

I have the OEM pack right here:
