Is the PC slow ? What upgrades are the best for better PC performance?




Has your PC become slow? Maybe you are using variety of optimize software in this situation. Or you are trying to find all common solutions. But still not working? In this situation, you need some upgrades to your PC. Which hardware needs to be upgraded? How and where should you start from? Which kind of upgrade can give you expected performance? Let’s try to find out the answers of the questions.

RAM:

You can increase the performance of your PC easily by upgrading its memory size. RAM increasing is an affordable upgrade. Moreover, it is possible to increase RAM of almost all machines (It is also possible to increase of RAM of some laptops). And the most benefit is that there is no need of much technical knowledge for this upgrade. If you have never opened the casing of your computer, the time has come to make some engineering.

In fact, almost all of the PC’s performance can be improved immediately by RAM upgrading. Especially if your PC is slow. Especially, the programs which take a little more RAM such as your video editing software or while gaming, more RAM means better performance in this case. Even for normal use, more RAM helps to run more background app. And the more RAM in your PC means you will be able to work by opening more browser tabs.

Now the question is, how much RAM is needed for your PC? In one word, currently your PC must have 4 GB RAM. But, if you want major improvement, 8 GB RAM is the best for you. And if you want to do any heavy work like video editing and gaming, 16 GB RAM may be the best.

Graphics card:

In the second list, we have graphics card upgrade. If you are a serious gamer, you need to upgrade the graphics card first. But, if you are not a serious gamer or do not do 3D rendering or video rendering, graphics card upgrade will not be beneficial for you. PC manufacturer companies often make misery with graphics card to reduce the price of the PC. So, for better performance, it is better to set dedicated GPU than depending on the default GPU.

Data drive:

Your hard drive needs to be upgraded for two reasons mainly. Firstly, if you need more space. And secondly, if you want faster performance. If you still suffer from space after removing all unnecessary files from your hard drive, the time has come to set hard drive of larger capacity. New hard drive will not only help to save more data but also have impact for better performance.

Try to keep at least 10GB free space in your primary drive system which is known as C drive, so that your operating system can use it. If your PC have 5,400 RPM drive, upgrade it to 7,200 RPM. You will find amazing speed boost in your PC.

Processor:

Upgrading your PC’s processor is the most difficult technical work. This setup is not only difficult but also costly. Moreover, it is a big question whether the new processor will work with your new system. You must think about the support of the new processor with the current system. In fact, processor upgrading cannot always give better performance.

Software:

Using updated software is a good decision though this statement is not always true. Important updates can be completely different. Because, the full version of software is changed by it. And the new version software uses more resources than before. Before upgrading software version, think of upgrading your PC if your PC is troubled with using current resource.

Final words:

Upgrading RAM, SSD and Graphics card means actual PC upgrade. You can immediately notice the improved performance with it. However, do not expect anything miraculous after upgrading the system. And if the system is too old, building new system could be the best choice.
