Hi everyone,

I am awaiting my order to be built but I am having an absolute head scratcher in trying to determine whether some core components of my build actually make sense together. The specs in question are:-
  1. Mobo - Asus X570 Gaming-Plus
  2. Processor - (Hopefully!) Ryzen 5900x
  3. SSD1 - Samsung 980 Pro 1TB
  4. SSD2 - Seagate Firecuda 520 2TB
  5. HDD - Seagate Iron Wolf Pro 2TB
  6. Graphics - Asus ROG 3080
  7. Ram - 3200 MHZ Cosair Vengeance

  9. The reason for my confusion is that in an ideal world, if I'm going to spend money on 2x high-end M2 drives and a high-end graphics card, that I can exploit the full bandwidth that all these components offer. Ideally everything (graphics card, 2x M2 drives) utilising PCI-E 4.0 and exploiting the maximum number of lanes needed to reach its max bandwidth. I have tried and failed to get my head around the different configurations, and lane usage and just can't figure it out if that's possible on the X570.

  11. What I'm trying to avoid is over-spending on this build on for example a second high-end M2 SSD which isn't going to utilise its full bandwidth, meaning I would have been better off just going with a cheaper, low-spec SSD instead.
For me the most important thing with my build is that it performs at its maximum capability for gaming and work. The latter will be standard usage.

Either way, apologies in advance to those vastly more knowledgeable in these areas if I'm totally missing the point here, would really appreciate some of your insight.
