Considering the upgrade from your current specs to the new components could impact performance. The faster SSD and higher RAM should enhance multitasking and application responsiveness, especially with resource-heavy tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, and Camtasia. Your workload involves multiple monitors, cloud services, and background processes, so the improvements are likely noticeable.

I’d keep the SSD unchanged unless you’re handling huge files. RAM size only counts if you’re tackling extremely large projects or have many tabs open—like me, though I’m not sure if that’s the case (it depends on BIOS support). Upgrading to faster modules such as Crucial’s 3200 Mhz SODIMM kits might help, but unless you’re pushing beyond 80% capacity, it’s usually safe to leave things as they are.
