Thank you!

do you have a budget?

[dry totem]

2k USD is about the budget. maybe like $2200 MAX

[maiden moss]

oh ok

why the 2 ssds'?

[dry totem]

one gen 5 for speed and a gen 4 for lower cost

[maiden moss]

oh ok

damn gen 5 is expensive

[dry totem]

gen 4 will probably be boot and then use gen 5 for games

[maiden moss]

ive only really used low endparts

[maiden moss]

you dont have to do that yknow

[dry totem]

what do you mean

[maiden moss]

that was like 2014 stuff

you dont need a seperate ssd for boot drive

[dry totem]

no i get that by boot i mean the main drive

where all the day to day programs will be installed and then ill point steam at the gen 5

im not going to raid them

[maiden moss]

oh ok

im just saying you dont rly need seperate drives

[dry totem]

I know that. But i want to take advantage of gen 5 but dont want to pay even more for a larger one.

[maiden moss]

oh ok

other than that it looks fine ngl

you checked dimensions and all that right?

[dry totem]

yeah cooler says it will fit from the Noctua site. Need to double check the GPU but i have seen videos of the card installed

lol a 4090 will fit so should be good

[ripe rock]

It’s not worth it to spend 180 on a 1 tb ssd, despite how fast it may be

Right now, you need a special mobo for it(which I don’t think that mobo does gen5 m.2) but is a waste of money as you may only save seconds of your life

And almost no one can take advantage of the download speed as Wi-Fi that can keep up with gen5 m.2s will cost a fortune

Also I would buy a thermalright phantom spirit 120 se instead as it is better than the nhd12l and 50 dollars cheaper

Mb your case can’t fit it tho

It does, already did the research

And your mobo does support gen 5 m.2 drives but I still wouldn’t recommend it

Please save yourself some money

[maiden moss]

Yeah i thought that that extra speed wasnt worth him paying 3 times more

[ripe rock]

I bought a 2 tb gen4 drive for $80, that’s 40 a tb, they are really cheap now

[dry totem]

Just realized I am missing a psu lol

[maiden moss]

Bruh lmao

1. CPU -> there are 0 reasons to waste your money on a 7900 for 419$ when you can get the 7900x for 350$. If you only care about gaming, you could add some more money and grab a 7800x3d for 441$, but the 350$ offer is a bit too good to pass up.
2. ram -> frequency is king and does make a difference. I assume you need the 64gb instead of 32, so this is better https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-VENGEANCE-6000MHz-Compatible-Computer/dp/B0BLYM2WW7/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3SY1OFL3SZQMO&keywords=64gb%2B6000mhz%2Bexpo&qid=1691783862&s=pc&sprefix=64gb%2B6000mhz%2Bexp%2Ccomputers%2C98&sr=1-5&th=1
3. storage -> can easily save some money here and go with the 990 pro or SN850x 2gb instead. There's virtually no point in wasting money on a pcie 5 ssd since you're obviously on a budget. This ain't a 4090 build.

That's all the mistakes you made that I saw. The rest are just preferences.
