I've recently bought a pc from cyberpower
But I wanna upgrade my ram to 32GB and also my SSD to 3TB but I also wanna add a HDD too I was thinking maybe 2TB HDD but I'm not sure if I'll overload my pc if I do or will I be fine?

But if I upgrade anything else what else would anyone recommend and what does everyone think of my pc currently that could do with an upgrade?

My specs are below :

CPU: Intel® Core™ i9-11900KF - 8-Core 3.50GHz, 5.10GHz Turbo - 16MB Cache, Ultimate OC Compatible

CS_FAN: 6x CyberPowerPC Hyperloop 120mm ARGB & PWM Fan Kit

FAN: MSI MAG Coreliquid M240 ARGB AIO Liquid Cooler, Ultimate OC Compatible

M2SSD: 1TB WD Green SN350 M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD - 3200MB/s Read & 2500MB/s Write (Single Drive)

MEMORY: 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4/3200MHz Kingston Fury Beast Memory

MOTHERBOARD: MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Edge WIFI: ATX w/ Wi-Fi 6, USB 3.2, 2x M.2

POWERSUPPLY: InWin P85FII 850W 80+ Gold ATX 3.0 Gaming Power Supply

So you've got two options,

You can purchase the upgrade parts and install them yourself, or contact Cyberpower on the 27th and obtain a quote from them,

#

If you want to opt for the purchase and install yourself, let me know a budget and I'll price some upgrade parts up for you 🙂

formal wigeon Dec 24, 2023, 7:44 PM

#

I can do it myself, budget probably £300 willing to increase to make this PC overkill

#

If I need to increase my budget let me know how much, so SSD I want it at 3TB and RAM at 32GB but I also want a HDD I was thinking 2TB what do you think?

latent arch Dec 24, 2023, 7:48 PM

#

So your SSD, is that 3TB in TOTAL you're wanting, or another 3TB ontop of your existing 1TB nvme? (meaning 4TB in total)

formal wigeon Dec 24, 2023, 7:48 PM

#

So I've got a 1TB currently SSD so I wanna add another 2TB SSD

latent arch Dec 24, 2023, 7:48 PM

#

Ahh gotcha, It's a NVMe so we can always slap another one on there, since you've got two NVMe slots

formal wigeon Dec 24, 2023, 7:49 PM

#

Yep 😇

Lets see what I can find for you 🙂

Crucial are great

For only a small price increase, but better speed

#

Now, for the RAM, Do you like the current ram you've got? It's DDR4 so to upgrade it we can always just slap the same kit in, making it 4 sticks of 8GB

I like the one currently, it's great, just need to add more to it, to make it 32GB

latent arch Dec 24, 2023, 7:55 PM

#

Now, you have an option, We can go for an internal SSD instead of a HDD, better speeds.

#

How big are you wanting the storage on the internal?

#

Bearing in mind, you have 3TB on NVMe

#

Right now we're only at about £150 between the two items, so still loads of room there to expand

formal wigeon Dec 24, 2023, 7:57 PM

#

I wanna add as much as possible, but not to kill the internals of my pc or overclock it but which would you recommend? For gaming use?, watching shows, and getting some video editing and picture editing done on it?

formal wigeon Dec 24, 2023, 7:58 PM

#

latent arch How big are you wanting the storage on the internal?

Erm, I was thinking 2 or 3TB?

latent arch Dec 24, 2023, 7:58 PM

Hmmm, What monitor do you have at the moment?

formal wigeon Dec 24, 2023, 7:58 PM

I've got a 3 monitor setup

Your computer should be ok with the extra storage/RAM

#

Right - the reason I don't like recommending ram from different kits as they can have different modules - I'll send you over a kit though

formal wigeon Dec 24, 2023, 8:03 PM

#

sly zephyr Right - the reason I don't like recommending ram from different kits as they can...

Does it affect the pc differently if they're different kits?

sly zephyr Dec 24, 2023, 8:03 PM

#

Could lead to instability but if it does you can remove em and refund

#

Then buy 2x16 instead

#

Eh tbf you should contact CPUK as they would know what stuff it is
