I play too much path of exile for that to be acceptable sadly

The sheer glut of load zones means even a spinning disk is unacceptable. I literally saved over an hour in time over a weekend back in the day going from ddr3 to 4, and three hours over a weekend going from a spinning disk to a solid state.

And the games only gotten larger in the last few years...

Ddr3 is great! Till you have to deal with a lot of load zones. ):
