You get my concerns right here. This is the main reason I am not examining an
SSD at the moment.
Also, I don't feel like going on a GPU update because I want something that
will also affect my general system experience (apart from DT, although DT is my
main aiming). As I am not a gamer, a GPU update maybe would benefit DT, but
apart from that I wouldn't get anything more for the value spent....
In my experience a lot of RAM goes a long way for accelerating a
computer, especially with Linux which employs "unused" RAM as cache.
Since I have 16GB the computer seems much faster and swapspace is rarely
used. Go for 16GB RAM and adjust the rest to it.
For processors min. 4 cores, if Intel then i5.
Last should be an SSD.
It helps a bit if you look at your "old" computer an ask what you would
pay if you were to buy it second hand.
