Slow down

Go back and ask him the resolution he plays at. Will likely be 1080p, 1440p, or (I very seriously doubt) 4k.

And link us to the PCPP list you’re working from. I want to see his drives (what I think you’re referring to as memory cards).

He's home sick...so he's less than helpful. Plus, I'm assuming it's only at 1080p.

I don't think I can link the build list as you'd have to log into the account but I'll list it all here:

- AMD Ryzen 7 2700 3.2 GHz 8-Core Processor
- NZXT Kraken X52 Rev 2 73.11 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
- MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard
- G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory
- Western Digital Blue 500 GB M.2-2280 SATA Solid State Drive
- NVIDIA Founders Edition GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER 8 GB Video Card
- Fractal Design Meshify C ATX Mid Tower Case
- Dell S2719DGF 27.0" 2560 x 1440 155 Hz Monitor
- EVGA 650 GQ 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply

As for memory, I was referring to the 32GB of RAM on the highlighted item above. I know that's an easy addition, but have no idea if it would matter.

FWIW, we're not looking to rebuild the system here. Was looking for a Christmas present that we could switch out and make a noticeable difference to the system, so if you've got a better suggestion I'm sincerely all ears.
