@tehpwner7067
6 GB now
probably 10 later
my dad says his PCs at work (with 500GB SSD) boot up in less than ten seconds and run extremely fast |

depends on what you're doing
if you find that all your ram is being eaten up then get more ram if not then get ssd |

500GB SSD Is major! The amount of ram that you could buy with that is way too much!
If you already have 4gb of ddr3 ram then a 500GB SSD is 10000x better.
Do you only have an HDD now? How much ram do you have now and whats its speed? |

i read some of the previous posts
SSD, I have one and my computer does boot in seconds.
If you have okay parts then the only thing holding you back is the storage's speed. |

Do you have a money budget? If not, i would get both, but if you do, say, $200, you should get the RAM. It may be not as good as the SSD, but it will boost your computers performance significantly. The SSD will make it faster, but not as far as Graphics Processing, as that is the GPUs and some of the CPUs job. Please, if you have a budget, please specify how much money you can spend. |

"Do you have a money budget? If not, i would get both,"
he does not need ram, over 4 is really almost overkill for a lot of people who just play games and ram rose in price making it really not worth it.
but yeah 500 gb ssd is really expensive |

"Over 4 is really overkill" Not at all. My custom intel core i7 has 8GB of ram and it can still be a little sluggish.
@Blast how much RAM do you already have? That matters too |

you would have to have 15-20 programs open and a few of which are games to have it take a toll on anything, your sluggishness is most likley wear / bog or an hdd
"how much RAM do you already have? That matters too"
previously he mentioned 6 |

I have a form factor desktop PC (roughly the size of an Xbox 360), so my upgrades are fairly limited; i'd probably cap my budget (willing to spend) at $500 for this particular upgrade
i asked my dad if i could invest in a second GPU for SLI, but he said i should get a SSD instead, so yeah |

GeForce GTX 645
The most powerful GTX GPU that is actually physically capable of fitting into my PC is a GeForce GTX 760, and even then, it's a tight fit. |
