Quick check / advice before purchase 😋

[JustNatsu]

Hi just looking for a quick check on my build / advice or changes youd make and why if needed. Quick insight of what i will be using it for is gaming, recording, streaming, video editing, youtube, music , google chrome and mass multitasking. My monitors are x2 alienware ultrawide AW3418DW. The below build might look a bit bare but i already own and plan on adding my own ram: 32gb 3200hz gskill rgb, HD: M.2 samsung 970 1tb, cooler: nzxt kraken x62, graphics: gtx 2080 ti. i also really care about how aesthetically pleasing my pc looks which has warrented my more expensive choice of case. Last question, i have additional SSDs i would like to add to my build, if i informed specialist of this would they possibly help me out by cable managing additional wires for those SSDs so all i would need to do is clip them in and connect the wire?

Thank you so much in advance.

Build seems sound. Consider the RM750x PSU as it's better quality.

I'm not a massive fan of the QVO (or Barracuda) SSDs. If you're installing your own stuff anyway, consider a 2TB MX500. Especially if you shop for it today...

if i informed specialist of this would they possibly help me out by cable managing additional wires for those SSDs so all i would need to do is clip them in and connect the wire?

Best way to find out is to call them and ask

Thanks for the reply ill change the power supply. If you dont mind me asking why are you not a fan of the qvo?

 

[Oussebon]

QLC drive. And because it's just not cheap enough to make up for its lack of performance versus things like the Crucial MX500 or the WD Blue 3D Nand (which PCS used to offer), especially with sustained writes (such as maybe installing a large game from a backup drive).

Especially if you can pick up a 2TB MX500 for £164. Specifically today. hint, hint.

A quick second for the crucial SSD's, for price vs performance, there's nothing that really beats them. And at that price it's an absolute no brainer.

Alright thanks guys i know exactly what u are talking about 😋 ill make sure to pick one up before the end of the day and choose a wee cheap one from pcs and switch it out when it arrives.

Or get it with a 250gb 970 Evo / WD Black for Windows and main programs, with the larger SSD(s) for games, recording high quality footage too, source files for projects, and so forth.

Think I may have to pick one up too at those prices!

It would be outrageous but I might have to buy a 2nd one on principle.

I don't really need this SSD, therefore I've just bought it. Wait a min...
