Hey guys!

Regarding PC advise what would be wise to do?

I have an i5 7500 with 8 GB ram ddr4, no video card and looking for an update.

On the SC site I read that it would be wise to use one NVMe drive just for SC. Only my pc has the capacity of 1 PCIE ( currently 128GB).

I’m thinking to add 16GB ram and an extra 500GB ssd sata, or, replace the NVME with an 500GB.

What would be wise to do?

Looking forward to your response.

Either way would be fine. NVME devices will be faster though.

Thank you.

Would it make any difference if I would instal Windows on an ssd sata and SC on the NVMe regarding speed and stability?

Or wouldn’t having windows and SC on one NVMe make any difference regarding speed and stability?
