In anyway I can make this specs better? I am not great with computers has I used to be, struggling to keep up to date.

I use this computer for work mainly, I use a few Adobe programs simultaneously, like , photoshop, illustrator, After effects while rendering on Media encoder, its usually fine, but sometimes struggles a bit more when its heavier files. is it worth to Upgrade the memory RAM for 32GB? will the Processor handle it, can I also upgrade the Processor? not really sure what o do here.

Processor (CPU)	Intel® Core™i5 Quad Core Processor i5-6600K (3.5GHz) 6MB Cache
Motherboard	ASUS® Z170-P: ATX, LG1151, USB 3.0, SATA 6GBs
Memory (RAM)	16GB HyperX FURY DDR4 2133MHz (2 x 8GB)

We'd need the full specs if possible?

What's your budget for the upgrades?

 

[Dazz]

Is not really about budget, is more about, would it be possible to add extra RAM and it will make a difference or would I need to change a lot more to actually make it work smoother a faster. If you know what I mean?

To be honest I wouldn't spend any money on it, it's old ddr3 and we're now on DDR5, the PSU isn't large enough to support upgrades anyway.

I would put any money towards a new system

There's lots of components in there that are much slower that what's around today, but which bit will make the most difference is debatable.

You'd need to upgrade the RAM, SSD, GPU and M.2...and then you're at a point where you need a new motherboard to support a newer CPU and faster M.2/RAM.

Thank you guys that actually helped me lots on my decision, will probably invest on a new system soon
