The new gpu was over 6 times faster and it did increase the whole pc speed by quite a lot in all aspects, especially gaming where i had 100+ frames. But all those fps didnt help me in computing speed overall.

I then added a extra 4gb of ram, bringing it up to 8gb of ram whoch increased the pc speed and operation by about 20%

All this stuff cost me hundreds of dollars with litlle effect to what i wanted to accomplish.

Next thing i got was a SSD , it was 40$ for a used 60gb OCZ, my boot time went from 4 mins to 11 seconds, the differnce that SSD did was astronomical, i increased the whole pc speed by at least 200%, so to sum things up .... Forget all the cpu,gpu and ram upgrades, grab yourself a SSD.




Old news is no news.
