You have to ask yourself why you'd apply anything at all to any computer components. Generally, it will be either for performance and/or longevity. Then most people would make a list of the things in a descending order of desirability in terms of risk, value for money and ease of application...

I don't disagree with what you say. I think the best way to increase performance stats will depend a lot on the game, though. Most people either compete in moba or fps games, and both of those genres require varying levels mental skills and knowledge. For anyone serious about gaming, I'd...
