Ryan_Stevens Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Folks! I am a gaming geek. I have been playing games for a long time. I have been trying to install Counter-Strike Global Offensive on my PC but the configuration of my PC is not sufficient to support that game that might be due to the built-in graphics card which is very low. I have been searching for the best SSD for Gaming that can support Counter Strike GO on my PC. I have come across the list of SSD for gaming, but I am not sure which one should I opt out. Here are the two SSD cards that I think would be the most suitable for me. Samsung 960 Pro MyDigitalSSD 120GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofanaticz Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Samsung ssd's are good drives. I play CS GO a lot, and there are no hard drive restrictions on the game as long as you have 15gb of free space. For CSGO you need a intel Core 2 Duo E6600/AMD Phenom X3 8750 or higher processor and an video card with at least 256mb of ram (the more the better Ideally a card with 2gb or more). This isnt a game you want to play thats using a built in video card. You want high framerates to get the fastest refresh you can to have the most accurate shot. A lot of peopole with decent computers still play this game with graphical settings at low just to get as much FPS as possible (I one of them).

PC Principal Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Samsung is what I use. I have never had an issue with their ssd's, and the Magician cloning software is very simple to use. 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser RF Power T1000 BDCP RF Punch 400-4 2 P2D4 12's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchaford Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Samsung and Intel are the two SSD brands I have in my rig. Two SSDs for my primiary games and the other is just got the OS. CSGO isn’t a very difficult game to run but if you’re using on board graphics then that’s certainly an issue. Installing a new graphics card would solve this. Granted you have enough CPU power and RAM for the game. Installing a new GPU is very very simple. Prices on GPUs currently are not at their best, they are quite high but the more entry level cards are holding a decent price-to-performance bargain. Really depends on your budget but for entry level cards I would like at the 1050ti, RX 560, or GTX 960. OP you can put together a completely new rig for relatively cheap nowadays. Just put together a complete build for a friend for just over $400 and CSGO is his main game. 2008 VW Jetta Team Fi 12 CT 4000.1 CT 125.4 PWX 6.5 80 PRS EB Flex 2/0 Second Skin ^^^ Build ^^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 In my work I put a few hundred SSDs into production a year... My take on them is this: Approve: Samsung Intel Corsair Toshiba/OCZ (in this order) Don't bother with: Munchkin Plextor Adata Kingston (bad customer service if it ever fails) PNY - very iffy. some are troopers, some have 50% fail rate. Western Digital Patriot Look I know someone is gonna be like "I have a plextor it runs fine", I'm just telling you that through hundreds of drives the lower in the list, the more failures I see. 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofanaticz Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Id probably rate Toshiba/OCZ higher than Corsair, especially after Toshiba buying them out, they have a lot of cool technologies. Corsair use to be the in brand to be beat back in the day when they focused on memory, now its starting to seem blah. LIke they couldnt even figure out RGB memory because the lighting was causing issues with ddr4 memory, then BAM out of no where here comes Crucial with some kick ass RGB ddr4 that Corsair said they couldnt do about 2 years ago. Then they put special edition on anything and everything it seems and its no different than the normal edition. Only good thing I can say is they offer decent warranties with most their products though and currently rma'ing a aio cooler for the 2nd time in 2 years, rma'ed a few of their keyboards already.

audiofanaticz Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 I will say I miss gambling pixels with csgo skins... Made lots of cash doing so!

SoCaLBaMF Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Samsung 850 and never had an issue, boot-times are still as fast as they were 2 years ago when I put it in. Only thing is I wish I would have went bigger since BF1 takes up 80gb of it itself... 2004 Bagged Trailblazer (4)18" Sundown Nsv3s (4) Taramps HD10000s, Taramps DSP3000, Lanzar opti 250x2, AB 100x4 (2)DC power SP 270s, (14)XS Power d3100s, (1)d6500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
