I have 8 gb of the same ram already but currently no ssd.
i would go for an SSD then.
unless you realy need 16GB of ram for something?
Depends on what you'll do with your system I guess. If it's just gaming and nothing content creating-ish/running simulation/heavy computing, I'd say go for the ssd :)
My PC is perfectly fine with 8GB.
You don't want a V300 SSD, also just save up until you can get a 240gb SSD, 120 fills up far too quickly for a desktop
Aren't the V300 the drives that Kingston switched components on that caused the performance to tank? Without switching part numbers?
If i get a ssd im just putting my os and a few games on it. i already have a WD 1 TB.
SSD would be the better choice, but do not buy that SSD. The kingston V300 is a broken drive, because kingston changed the flash they used in the drive and this caused the drive to fail extremely fast.
what sort of workloads are you doing?
general computing = ssd
video editing, 3d stuff (I once had a scene use up 12gb of ram at render time) = ram
I can't believe they're still listing it's read/write speeds at 450MBps...
This is the lowest end drive I'd recommend: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147371&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
If you can't afford it, my recommendation is too wait and save up for it. Buying a lower end drive is simply asking for problems and a drive that will die after less then a year of use in many cases.
Damn, that's cheap... Kinda wish I would have waited a year to get my pair of SSDs. Would have been cheaper and faster...
I would go for an SSD, makes things go faster :>
SSD but not that SSD
What MrChumps said ;)
I agree with everyone else it seems. An SSD will yield much better results.
LOL --- but yeah, don't
Depending on what you do with your system, Ram wont really give performance as such, I would go for an SSD.
Also do you need either? if your just getting something for the sake of it then maybe save the money for a bigger upgrade?
SSD for sure.
