Recently started playing Elder scrolls online, and as much as I've been enjoying it, it's been nothing but issues with my computer.

So essentially my options are to upgrade a couple things in my current build. Or my company offers a zero interest loan on computers up to $1500, roughly 2-3 month wait for that.

My thoughts are to buy a SSD, since my biggest issue is load times.
Not sure if it would help the odd frame drop.

I'll post my build I have right now, once I get home from work in a couple hours.

So to be more detailed about the program at my work..

I can either spend $1500 of my own money, in any store and the company will reimburse me, or I can go direct to a local company we deal with and not have to pay any of my own money.

The company will build exactly what I want. Probably low end brands and I find it's over priced ( I've went with them once before).

Now the issue with spending my own money, is to my understanding I cannot build it myself, after buying parts. But I think using a site like NCIX where the assemble it and send finished product maybe aloud.

Well, NCIX will definitely build it for an extra $50

/e If your company goes for it, I would go that route.

That's what I'm leaning towards.
Just wondering if buying a SSD for games, since it's easily swapped to another computer if I understand correctly.

I'm not exactly sure why, I just know a coworker had intended on building one but was told he wasn't allowed.
So I have to verify if something like ncix is possible, or see what the company we use will charge for something.

An SSD is always a good purchase, but other than game load times...


Also You can just add one into the $1500 build.
