Since getting my new MSI laptop last week, which is so quick and fast, going back to my desktop i have noticed just how slow everything is, even more so than i realised. Where my laptop wakes and goes straight into Windows with no delay, it literally takes my desktop minutes to do the same and even then still is laggy as hell at times. My PC specs are as follows
Intel i5 6400
8GB DDR4 2133 RAM (ONE stick)
Nvidia GTX 1070
1TB 5400rpm HD
Now i am obviously aware the GPU is decent but im thinking the reason my machine is so slow is down to the RAM and the HD. Would simply adding an SSD and upgrading the RAM make a huge difference in terms of performance? In terms of the RAM would i benefit from adding 2 sticks of 4GB making 8GB or would i benefit from going up to 16GB? I dont really want to spend huge amounts so im wondering if these upgrades will be hugely noticeable. I both for games and just general use.
