[worn gorge]

i dont need cooler psu or storage as i said in the original message i have all that that i will use from my current build

[worn gorge]

not a fan of that mobo looks i perfer basic looking lol

[flat ice]

It’s the cheapest though lol

And has a shit ton of i/o

[flat ice]

Oh I blanked on that

Yeah nt-h1 is good

[worn gorge]

ill pay $50 more for plain black :/

[worn gorge]

thats what im currently using so i figured i know it works so ill stick to that

[flat ice]

A plain black costs the same

Less i/o though

[worn gorge]

Also msi mobos are the only ones that dont support ecc

But if you aren’t gonna use ecc it doesn’t matter

[worn gorge]

looked at this one and i think that the one i first had on the list was worth the $30 more

great board for the price tho

[flat ice]

What are the differences?

[worn gorge]

more m.2 and m.2 heatsinks

[flat ice]

Ah

[worn gorge]

for me the ability to get 1 more m.2 is worth it

[flat ice]

Yeah the one I sent has 2

Worth $30 imo as well

[worn gorge]

yeah

the one other i was looking at was this

[flat ice]

I have 3 ssds lying on my desk that I can’t use

😭
