Short on SSD space?

Buying another drive is not the first step. Steam can move an installed game to another library without downloading it again. Clear the required room first, then decide if the cramped drive is a recurring problem.

Do not guess at a different GPU

A newer model number is not always a faster card. If your exact GPU is not on the list, use a reliable benchmark comparison before spending money. Expansion Bay does not turn a model-name guess into a confident pass.
