I prefer HGST for external since they usually last the longest . Most drives on amazon tend to have reviews from xbox users . Also , most actual stores usually only carry meh WD 5400 rpm drives . If you really wanted you could get a 10000 rpm and put it in a enclosure but not really worth it . <| sep |> Get intel cpus , they ' re just better than AMD in that regard nowadays . With that new cpu , get a new mobo and DDR 4 RAM . Ditch the SSD for a different brand , Kingston did a bait and switch some monthshas it been a year ? ago , and while they claim to have fixed it , Kingston has earned an awdul reputation , wouldn ' t get parts from them excluding RAM . Do you really need a 100 dollar case ? You can definitely cut back there to get better performance . if you got a $ 30 dollar case and just put 70 towards your GPU , your gaming experience is going to majorly improve . I also don ' t see an HDD , you ' re probably gonna run out of space soon .
