    Hi All,

    I built my PC back in 2018 and am thinking of upgrading it. I mainly use if for PC gaming and software development. The main problem so far is the SSD OS drive is getting quite tight for space so was thinking of replacing it with this one currently on sale for Black Friday.

    I was also wondering if RAM or GPU might need a refresh. I mainly play games like Far Cry, RD2 or Cyberpunk which have not struggled too much so far but could be played at higher frame rates if I upgraded these. I don't have a fixed budget but would like to keep around the 500 euro mark.
