Fair do. Assume you're on 8GB now, as you don't need to go beyond 16GB - for most practical purposes anyway.

SSDs are incredible. Have one on this machine - the difference it makes to boot start up from traditional hard drives is night and day.

I generally don't upgrade machines, as I basically am never sure whether I can! For example, reason I'm getting new PC is that my GTX770 is dying (increasing crash frequency when rendering), but I have no clue whether my motherboard, power supply etc. can support a top end GPU these days.

Most I've ever done upgrade wise is go 8GB to 16GB RAM, as I remembered when buying the MOBO that I could.

Yeah, 8GB now, just to get the machine up and running. I do anticipate going to 32GB though, as I will be running a Linux VM.

I bought my PSU to be able to support a 1080 (if I was able to source one cheap enough, although probably not from in NZ, as they are running around $1100 here)

No microcenter near you, or newegg? Dang, I got a 500gb crucial ssd refurb for less than 80 bucks last year still going strong

Pfft......I am in NZ.

As mentioned before, a 1080 will set you back $1100. A RX 480 runs $5-600.

Newegg ship to NZ, but the prices on the NZ site are equivalent to NZ retail stores, then add on import taxes and shipping (normally $90+). Nah, better off buying from Amazon or something, shipping to a 'mule' in the US, who then reships to me.

CEX don't normally do them unless it is through their site.

Only know this as about 18 months ago i was after one as well. ended up with 2 connectors haha but yeah, you need to make sure you have the usb connector for the PS3 one, the xbox didn't need it but you need the dongle for the ps3.
 


Been watching old episodes of Gamesmaster while working on YouTube over the last week. This one is brill.
Featuring a TV exclusive review of Starfox on the SNES and features the brilliant line 'SFX? More like SEX'.

Also Dominik Diamond was awesome.
