A few notes about my decisions:
* This PC will dual-serve as a linux workstation. At work I often have to run a lot of docker containers, hence the 64gb of ram and the ryzen 5950x
* The primary SSD (256gb) will only host windows. I don't plan on installing heavy software or store photo collection or anything. Just windows. Games will reside in a 1TB m.2 samsung evo, which I'll take from my current build. Do I need a 512gb drive for future-proofing?
* The current machine will also donate a 2.5" ssd for my linux installation. Could this introduce any problems with booting from the windows m.2 drive?
* Monitor: 1440p@144hz (LG 27GL850-B)
* Budget: prefer to stay under 3k EUR, but can go a bit higher
Games-wise, I pretty much only play fortnite lately, but it would be cool if this rig could deliver stable 1440p@144hz at higher graphics settings than fortnite's "performance mode".
