I have just purchased a used gaming computer. It is a budget build about a year old. I was considering building my own and this came up locally with a similar set of components I was looking at using myself but this came at great savings with some cool additions. My wife and I are going to share this computer. She will be using it for gaming, I will be using it for Photo and video work: Lightroom, Photoshop and Premier Pro.
Mobo: MSI Max Z390.
i7 8700
500 GB SSD (SATA)
Team T-Force (2x8GB) DDR SDRAM DDR4 3000
Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070
I added this from my older computer. Rosewill RNWD-N9003PCE - Dual Band Wireless N900 Adapter - IEEE 802.11a/11b/11g/11n, Up to 450 Mbps (5.0 GHz) + 450 Mbps (2.4 GHz)
I realize this a budget build. But it has worked very well so far running the included Oculus Rift beautifully. would like to update some things to make this a bit more capable. Could I add 2 sticks of 16GB ram to bring my RAM up to help with Premier Pro? Would a different pair (non-matching) RAM sticks work well with the sticks already installed?
The Mobo has a slot to accommodate a wifi card. Would this card give me better speed than the wifi I have in there now?
What kind of dock or Hub should I buy to let me have USB and card readers on my desk. I want to keep the USB 3.1 (gen 2) capabilities.
There is an SSD inside but would like to take advantage of the new format M.2. Would installing the new style hard rive give me some performance boost. For moving and storing large files around? Thinking of putting in this drive.
