My current SSD (Crucial 256GB) doesn't give me enough headroom to install many/any games, so I'm thinking something a little larger. That got me tumbling down the rabbit hole of a more thorough computer upgrade.
I have a 1070 GTX vidcard, Seagate 650W PSU that's less than a year old, a Samsung 1TB HDD, and a Fractal R4 case. I'll be upgrading the CPU, mobo, RAM, and SSD. I _think_ I've got a solid build going, but any feedback/suggestions are welcome!
