Upgrade
Hi MicroCenter Community!
I currently have a PC with the following parameters:
- System: Intel Core i7-8700 3.2GHz | Intel B360 Express Chipset | 8GB DDR4 | 1TB HDD
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB Video Card | 1 x DVI | 1 x HDMI | 1 x DisplayPort
My problem with it is that it runs slow, the games are taking forever to load. I feel like I need a nice upgrade on parts. What would you recommend?

Greetings. What is your intended budget?

You mentioned a 1 TB HDD. I expect that your motherboard is compatible with SATA or PCIE SSDs. I just put a Western Digital 1TB SSD in my MB's M.2 slot and goa huge performance boost.
