Computer Upgrade

[lm1985]

Hi All,

 

This is my first post…on any forum so apologies if I’m asking a question repeated over and over.

I have recently (6months ago)bought a new computer and just don’t find it fast enough.

I use Sketchup and Vray but am learning 3Ds too. Compuer spec is as follows;

 

- 1 XFX HD 7850 Core Edition 2GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI Dual DisplayPort PCI-E Graphics Card

- Intel Core i7 3770 3.4GHz Socket 1155 8MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor

- HGST Deskstar 1TB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 32MB Cache – OEM

- SanDisk 128GB Pulse SSD - 2.5" SATA-III - Read 490MB/s Write 380MB/s

- Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) Ddr3 1600mhz Vengeance Memory Kit

- Gigabyte GA-B75-D3V Socket 1155 VGA DVI 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard

 

I would like to spend around 1k on upgrades but am unsure if I should scrap components or add to them.

Unfortunately speaking with tech specialists in shops has proved a total waste of time as they don’t know how the programs work.

 

Thanks in advance
