hi,

I'm looking at the next upgrade for my pc and I currently only have 4gb of ram and a 1tb WD blue HDD

what would be the best upgrade the ram or an SSD I might be able to afford 2 SSD's for 16gb of ram

I'm running an micro - itx in a bitfenix prodigy so only have 2 dim slots.

Corsair Vengeance 16GB

or x2 Samsung 120GB SSD 840 EVO

thanks

16GB of RAM is overkill for gaming, most games barely use more than 4.

I'd say get another 4GB of RAM to upgrade to 8GB total AND a 120/250GB Samsung 840 Evo drive, depending on how much money you have left.

Personally I would suggest these

Corsair Force 3 240Gb SSD
SSD


Corsair 8Gb 1600Mhz LP
Ram

Grand total of around £170


I use 2 of the Force 3 240Gb SSD's in Raid 0, and I have 16Gb of the same ram but the CL8 version rather than the CL9 version.

Have no problems with either of them.
 
cheap 4gb stick ram + 250gb samsung evo. should be about the same price as either of your original options. 8gb is heaps.
