I don’t understand why a new monitor would enhance your system’s performance.
You were fortunate to purchase a well-balanced setup already. For me, Alienware is usually my laptop choice. It’s easy to check which components are being used most and see if upgrades are needed. I’d look into the remaining specifications of your system. If you notice any slow spots, we can explore possible improvements. I don’t know your budget, so you’re in the best place to decide what makes sense. Consider checking out better graphics cards—benchmarks and second-hand options from miners are available. You might find powerful GPUs at a significant discount, possibly 50-85%. I’m not sure how a first-gen I7 performs, though.
Yes, PSU stands for Power Supply Unit, which is the component that provides power to a device.
@ArchAngelThomas or reference their input to ensure you grab their attention. Otherwise, they might miss it. It’s possible, though I’m not sure your high-end processor is handling that much stress. It might be worth trying an overclock to discover its limits. Upgrading to SSDs is a solid improvement and can significantly boost system responsiveness. While it won’t dramatically affect frame rates, it’s a practical upgrade. This setup likely changes with future projects, so it’s worth considering.
Some games have slow loading times that can be frustrating. Even without buying a full system, the feedback makes me think about switching to an SSD. It’s convenient since it can be moved to another PC easily. I’m new to handling different storage devices, but moving game files should be straightforward. Thanks for the tip on tagging @ dizmo
It's easy with several drives; just switch the folder during installation. If you have an SSD, choose the biggest one you can afford. Bigger storage means faster speed. No worries! You're welcome on the forum.
