Upgrade AG3-710 32GO -> 64 GO DDR4 and Memory

Thetopadventure

Hello,

I would like to improve the specs of my actuel PC.

Model: AG3-710

Intel Core i7-6700 CPU@3.4GHz

32 Go ram DDRç

Nvidia GeForce GTX 950

Ref number: DT.B1PEZ.003

I mainly use my PC for pictures treatment ( photoshop) and design ( Illustrator). I also play videogames, but those are not the main issue.

I find that my pc takes to much time to render documents while using illustrator and/or photoshop.

I currently have the original SSD and added 3x 1To Harddrive. But I also need more space...
What upgrades could/should I make to improve the performances? ( I'd rather change some things than get a new pc)

Thank you very much for the help.

Cheers.

So, what size SSD drive are you using in your G3-710? Unless you have already taken the step to expand the SSD you probably won't see much improvement going from 32GB to 64GB, although Photoshop and Illustrator can be real hogs. IIRC they cache data on a disk while working and they might be doing that to the three HDDs, which would be fairly slow. Look at what your memory use is while running those with Resource Monitor You might look at replacing the three 1TB HDDs with three 2TB SSDs and a RAID card, then stripe the drives through the RAID. That will maximize drive performance and likely speed up the rendering. Your memory should be DDR4 2400 U-DIMMs and 64GB is the maximum your system supports.
