I've attached a screenshot of "System Information". I'm running a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti .
I do game, but not particularly demanding games, and I doubt I'll have problems running games that are "a bit" more demanding than what I play most (CSGO), as I'm always ok not running "Ultra" settings, as long as I get decent FPS and games aren't on "low" settings entirely, I'm okay with that
I'm studying for an IT Degree, I program, I do some basic Unity projects, but mostly I'm just a tinkerer.
Running an i5-2500 @ 3.3GHz. So that's definitely on the table for an upgrade.
In task manager when I'm maxed out it's almost always Disk, as I don't have an SSD. I have a 2TB HDD to storage capacity wise, I'm fine, but clearly the read/write speed is limiting/
I'm most definitely going to upgrade to an SSD, just googled it and it won't be an expensive upgrade at all.
What's the difference between a regular SATA drive and NVMe SSDs? How do I know if my pc has the ports for NVMe cards. Just generally as much or as little detail as you're willing to go into on their difference & "need to knows".
After this, I would I assume want to upgrade my CPU, and i5-2500 CPUs are going for about £20-30 used. So i'm definitely capable of spending a few x more than that, any recommendations?
Also any other observations are more than welcome
Thanks for your help, in advance
