Thank you for the spec!! May I ask, what's the purpose of having 2x M.2 SSD drives? Do they complement each other somehow or is the faster one meant to be where the OS is stored on? I can't see the option to assisn the OS to either M.2 when proceeding with the order.
Exactly, small and fast drive for your OS and programs, larger one for speedy storage.
Got it, I'll ask the Tech Team to confirm for safety, thank you! :)
They will as standard install it on the faster drive, I had to ask that question when I bought my system. To make sure I had it on the drive I wanted, I used the live chat functionality and the (very helpful) operator logged my request and included it on a note to the build team 🙂👍

Just to update, I got the following spec confirmed by the PCSpecialist team! I had to change the M.2 drives around to what they had in stock at the time, but hey, I got two now plus the AMD CPU you recommended and the 850w PSU :)

Very excited and thanks for all of the help!!! :D

Happy to help!

You can drop the Arctic thermal paste as the Corsair cooler already comes with it's own high quality paste pre-applied. And if you can squeeze out an extra few quid, it really is worth going for the 500GB 980 (look at the difference in the read/write speeds!)

Other than that, looking great!

Switched to the 500GB 980 as advised, thanks! Noted on the paste!
