I am looking to upgrade my computer RAM OR CPU. I run Windows 10 64bit mode and firefox everyday with around 25 PINNED TABS, and around 15-20 actual firefox tabs open all at once.
If I CTRL-ALT-DEL and look the task manager, with all that open my memory is approx 25-30% used and the CPU can be anywhere from 60-95% used (Really changes live)..
I have (2) ideas:
[RAM UPGRADE]
So I currently have 24 GIGS (1600mhz DDR3) of ram in my PC desktop computer with windows 10
Slot A: 4GB - Kingston khx1600c9d3x2k2/8gx
Slot B: 8GB - Hyperx hx316c10fb/8
Slot C: 4GB - Kingston khx1600c9d3x2k2/8gx
Slot D: 8GB - Hyperx hx316c10fb/8
Now I don't do gaming... I do however have a bunch of firefox windows and tabs, and pins open all the time and it can slow down website browsing to a CRAWL or even taking 10-15 seconds or MORE just for the computer to acknowledge I TYPED something...
I am thinking of swapping the 2x 4GB ram cards for the hyperx hx316c10fb/8 which would be 2X 8 = 16.
OR Upgrade the CPU
[CPU UPGRADE]
I do not know what would be better than the AMD A10 6800K that I have now...
[SYSTEM]
the system I have is this:
CPU: AMD A10 6800K
MOTHERBOARD: ASUSTEK F2A55-M
Running Windows 10 in 64bit mode
RAM: 24GIGS
QUESTIONS:
1. In my case, do you think the RAM should be upgraded or the CPU? Someone pointed out that I might get an increase in speed with the CPU since 24GIGs of ram is fairly high.
2. If I Upgrade my CPU, what are examples of the BETTER (Looking for FASTER than what my current AMD A10 does) and FASTER?
