When should I upgrade /g/?

When you need to.

/thread

>>55650521
Whenever you feel your computers performance is inadequate for your daily tasks.

>>55650521
Right now. An SSD.

>>55650530
>>55650547
I know that, I was just wondering as far as the standard.

>>55650603
What type of benefits am I seeing getting an SSD? I have taught about getting one but my third pcie slot is being blocked by my GPU.

It's pretty good huh?

>>55651862
I hope your bating, if not your an immense retard.

>>55651837
For the price, yeah. I got their 980 ti.

>>55651989
My card is pretty fucking tiny

>>55652009
Like how small? Mines like 13"

>>55652085
8'' I think

>>55652110
Damn that's tiny.

>>55652442
It is, I have it in an Optiplex machine. Performs good, and stays pretty cool even with restricted airflow.

>>55650603
this.

um get a SATA SSD like normal people. You can get a 240gb SSD for fairly cheap, which should be enough for your programs, OS and maybe a few games.

>>55652697
My third SATA port is being blocked by my GPU, I said pcie by mistake.

Can I ask for opinion too?

>>55653171
OP here, sure. What do you mostly do? For the most part I think your build is still good.

>>55653281

Games, measurement data fitting, writing small software related to said tasks and measurements control.

>>55653716
Your good, as long as your okay with lowering graphics quality.

>>55653732

And if Im not?

I mean, would RX 480/GTX 1060 be good upgrade or my CPU would bottleneck it?

>>55650521
Install Gentoo.

>>55653969
HD 7950

>>55653969
Your CPU would bottleneck it a bit, but most games are GPU bound not CPU bound, so a better GPU is going to give you more benefit for gaming over a CPU upgrade, even if your CPU is holding you back a bit.

Dont listen to the retarded who said HD 7950, that thing is just as old as your GTX 660, just a bit more powerful. You'd be better off with the RX480/GTX1060

>>55653969
overclock that shit as much as possible.

>>55654150
HD 7900 is just fine, maxes out everything or at high settings at least.
I have seen them for as low as $80, so you judge faggot.

>>55654663
Yeah lets buy a GPU that came out at the end of 2011 in mid 2016.
Ignore the fact it wont support modern API's or video decoding/encoding, but it also uses far more power than a modern GPU does. The GTX 1080 uses 180w at full draw. The GTX 1060 has a TDP of 120w. The HD 7950 TDP is 200w+ depending on the model.

And again, it wont support modern APIs, nor the more advanced software features, nor VP9 decoding, HEVC decoding, etc, etc.

>>55654837
Sure thing pal

>>55654278

I dont think its possible.

I had already few Blue Screens from CPU watchdog, so either my OS is unstable or worse. I hope for first option.

Besides, it already gets pretty loud.

newfag, what program do you use to get your specs

>>55653171
Your monitor, obviously.

Gonna need 4 more GB of RAM, a new cooler, a new monitor and then a new graphics card

>>55655505

Why? Its big enough already. ANd if I would increase resolution, not only everything will become so tiny that I will ahve problems reading but also games will require more powerful rig due to increased native resolution (working in lower looks worse).
