tl;dr spend months thinking RAM will make my PC a monster while my savant friend doesn't notice a single problem with how outdated my computer is. Boring story but I need to vent my rage at autists like myself
That's super duper but what are your specs?
Go to /v/, nobody here cares.
>savant

your friend is an idiot or doesn't care, ram is almost never a good upgrade and you'll know when it is because you'll literally be utilising >80% of it which every version of windows has been able to show in the task manager

Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6670
CPU: AMD FX-4170
RAM: 12 GB of course
i think thats it

your friend could have prevent this upgrade graphic card and cpu and get an SSD
>>51510207
CPU is fine. 8GB RAM would have been fine. GPU need replacing. It wasn't a major fuck up. You'll live.
>>>/v/
this isn't a blog for you to rage about how you're too retarded to spend 10 minutes googling something
>>51510245
ram isn't even that expensive.
its like 20-40 for 2x4gb and even I could get that money in a month when I was 12
