Hi everyone,
I'm looking into upgrading my pc, something that I am generally hesitant on spending much money or time on, not a techie here. I generally just use my pc for gaming (EVE, WoW, Marvel Heroes, Skyrim) surfing, some Spotify and writing. I'm not sure if my PC is simply suffocating under the pressure -occasional freezes and laggy FPS- or I am poor with keeping it 'in shape'. Maybe both ^^ So I'd like some help with buying new parts if needed and how to safely install everything or if I should let someone else do it.
Here are my pc specs, which I bought in Feb 2009
Motherboard: MSI (Micro Star) MS-7360 (P35 Neo-F)
RAM: 4 GB DDR PC2-6400 (2x2GB)
CPU: Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q9400 (6M Cache, 2.66 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB)
Storage: Western Digital WD Green WD6400AACS 640GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
PSU: XFX PRO 550W Core Edition (Added in 2013)
GPU: GeForce GTX 660 2GB (Added in 2013)
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Edition Service Pack 1 (build 7601), 64-bit
My brother said an SSD is a great upgrade and with around €250 budget I'm not sure what else to go for
PS: If you have retailer suggestions, I live in the Netherlands, Rotterdam area
