SNAZZ

I don't remember what cards they were last time I looked. Currently the only things locally I see is a couple 1060, one for $200 and the other for $250. Then there's a couple old looking ones for $50, a frozer something and a 465(?). I haven't used ebay since like 2005 or something. Lol got ripped off on there and they wouldn't do anything about it so haven't bought anything off there since. I'll keep checking around for a used one. I set up a 16gb page file on my hdd in hopes that would help some. Idk if it did or not. Should my page file be on my ssd? I always heard it was bad to have them there.

I'll keep checking around for a used one then. Everything I keep finding locally used is around $200-$400. I'm looks for around the $100 mark. Biggest problem seems to be the memory issue though. I have 8gb and KSP is running around 6.5-7.5gb constantly. I've ordered two more stick's to put in so I'll be at 16gb then. I'm assuming KSP will still hog the same amount then and not try to eat all 16gb?

Any opinion on Gigabyte GV-N1030OC-2GI? Not wanting to spend much since I'm not into pc games other then ksp.

After watching it more closely CPU does get hit pretty good during loads, time warp or if I'm in low orbit looking at a planet behind my ship. Would a graphics card help that since the CPU wouldn't be pulling double duty anymore?

Hopefully this is the correct place to ask this. (I'm new here). Looking for some ideas for a few (cheep) upgrades to make KSP run better. I built my PC back in 2013, was good build back then for what I needed it for. Recently started playing KSP on it and having some problems. Mainly my ram gets eaten alive and some stuttering sometimes. I've done some research on how to get KSP to run better but all the info I keep finding is a few years old. I'm running KSP 1.8.0 About 40 mods installed(no visual mod), mostly USI, Near Future and DMagic stuff. PC build - i5-3570K Asus P8Z77-V LK Corsair Vengeance 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3 1600 Kingston Digital 120GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 WD Blue 500GB Desktop Hard Disk Drive CORSAIR CX Series, CX600 LG 27EA31 Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit Already ordered two more sticks of ram so will be 16gb total ram. CPU usage never gets hit very hard so I think I'm fine there. Wondering if a graphics card would help anything? The game looks pretty good visually already IMO, running 1080 on medium settings. I don't plan on playing any other games on the PC, mainly a console guy(Xb1x). If a graphics card would help KSP run better at all then I'm open to suggestions for one, basically the bare minimum that would be better than the built in that the i5-3570K has. Never been a PC gamer so never had the need for a dedicated GPU. Also wondering if finally upgrading to Win10 would help it any. Any help/suggestions/ridicule welcome. Thanks.
