I have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780, 16 GB DDR3 RAM, a PLEXTOR PX-256M5S Solid state drive, a normal HHD backup drive, a Gigabyte Technology: Z87X-D3H-CF Motherboard, Intel Core i5-4440 CPU @ 3.1 GHz (4-core), Viewsonic VP2770 Professionally calibrated Deep color professional monitor (WQHD 1440p), ASUS BW-12D1S-U USB Device (blu ray drive ready for 4 k movies even though I don't have a 4k monitor yet my 1440p should benefit some from it) , HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH24NS95 SCSI CdRom Device, Realtek High Definition Audio, a relatively old 5.1 surround sound system which isn't bad, Intel Ethernet Connection I217-V, and I have the Home Edition of Windows 10. What hardware/software can I get to improve youtube, Blu-ray videos?
