An additional 8GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD is 68 Euros or $81 or £60 Does that sound reasonable?

Just a few questions before I go ahead with a new PC. Is it worthwhile increasing the memory to 16GB of RAM? Are there any benefits in adding an SSD drive? With all the recent media coverage about flaws in Intel processors, should I hold off investing in a new PC? Thanks

Thank you all once again for your helpful advice. I am very grateful.

Thank you very much for your replies. So far, I have not been able to find out the spec for the power supply. Although it is slightly above my budget, I have found an Acer Intel i5 desktop PC ACER AGX-781 018 8GB - 1TB Processor Intel Core i5-7400 Processor cores: 4 Processor speed: up to 3.50 GHz RAM memory: 8GB DDR4 Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 2GB GDDR5 Type of graphics card: Dedicated Ready for virtual reality (VR Ready) Storage capacity: 1TB Operating system: Windows 10 Home System architecture: 64-bit The power supply is sufficient for the graphics card and the shop has had one on display running games for several weeks. Is the spec sufficient to run SL? Many thanks again

My 6 year old Acer laptop with Nvida Geforce GT540M is starting to slow down in busy sims, so I’m considering replacing it with a desktop. I live in the Canary Islands and my choice is quite limited. My maximum budget is about €700 or £700. I already have a monitor, keyboard and mouse. Hopefully my expectations are not too high for this amount. I would be happy with medium quality graphics and not to crash in a club full of people. Anything above that would be a bonus. Would either of these specs for desktops made by a German company called Medion be up to the job? I have translated them from Spanish OPTION 1 MEDION COMPUTER M11 A8-8650 8GB - 1TB + 128GB SSD € 575.00 AMD processor A Processor model A8-8650 Processor frequency 3.2 GHz Turbo processor frequency: 3.8 GHz Number of processor cores 4 Number of installed processors 1 8GB DDR3-SDRAM memory Storage 128GB HDD + 128GB SSD Hard disk capacity 1TB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics adapter 3GB memory Graphics model on AMD Radeon R7 card Type of discrete graphics memory: GDDR5 Operating system installed: Windows 10 64bit Operating system architecture: 64 bits OPTION 2 MEDION COMPUTER M11 P4368 8GB - 1TB + 128GB SSD AMD A8-8650 processor (3.2GHz) 8GB RAM DDR4 Storage 1TB HDD + 128GB SSD NVIDIA® GeForce GTX 750 graphics (2GB GDDR5) Video 1 x Dual Link DVI 1 x HDMI (HDCP support) 3 x DisplayPort 1 x HDMI (HDCP support) 3 x DisplayPort Connectivity: Ethernet - WiFi - Bluetooth Microsoft Windows 10 operating system Both of them have AMD processors. Do they run SL ok? Thank you
