Please Zos don't delete my topic :D

Off-eso help plz.
I have been playing games on pc my whole life, but one thing that I didn't figure well is the proper way to upgrade it. Since it's father's day next sunday, my wife allowed me...I mean...I told her that I'm going make a small upgrade on pc, and I'm wondering what should I get.

Here's my specs:
I7 4770
8 gb ram
GTX970
Motherboard ASUS TUF Vanguard
1TB hdd.

I'm wondering, should I get one of those SSD hard drives or put up more ram, or perharps little bit both? I only use the computer for gamming, and stuff.

    Looking at the specs you don't really need an upgrade.
    But yeah upgrading to 16gb ram wouldn't hurt and not too huge SSD for primary drive. You should keep current drive still.

    I'm still doing fine with 8gb and i7 that was released 2010.

    As previous poster said, you don't really need an upgrade :) but if anything, 16GB RAM wouldn't hurt and if you really want to spend you can upgrade your graphics card (there's slight room for improvement, slight!).
    But again, you really don't need to.

    But of course if you feel something is bothering you while you play, like loading screens takes too long, low FPS, everything looks like crap etc then it wouldn't be a waste to upgrade the proper component. Just have to figure out something that bothers you that is related to the hardware :)

    It looks pretty good, but if you're being allowed upgrading, 16GB ram would be the way to go I believe. Or just grab an SSD for your operating system. I found my OS on and SSD is super snappy and couldn't go back now haha.

    Could you guys recommend me a good hd ssd? Buying this kind of stuff is kind of tricky.

    A fried of mine suggested me the SSD Kingston HyperX Fury 2.5´ 480GB SATA III 6.0Gb/s - SHFS37A/480G. Is this one good? A other friend of mine suggested me the SSD Samsung 850 EVO 2.5´ 500GB SATA III - MZ-75E500B/AM.
    Which one is better?
