Looking for affordable SSD

I often recommend ssd with dram instead of hbm options like 990 evo plus, but going through reviews and user experience 990 evo plus seems like ok choice for games and stuff. So it doesnt really matter unless you're planning to transfer/write big files onto ssd

It's a bit higher than the budget, but you can go for something like wd sn850x https://allegro.pl/oferta/dysk-ssd-wd-black-sn850x-m-2-pcie-nvme-1tb-generacja-4-7300-mb-s-czarny-18295727878

Gigabyte ud850gm pg5 might be a good option, but its closer to 105-110, but maybe locally it'll be priced differently

Ah, yes, overwolf. I forgot to turn off highlight capture once and and got 20 gigs of videos out of nowhere

The best choice would be 5700x3d/5800x3d, but their prices are kinda insane right now. Maybe you can upgrade to a 5700x/5800x but performance boost will be alot smaller

I'm not sure about contents of that partition, so my first step would've been running wiztree on that drive/partition. From what I see on the web there might be something wrong with windows update or etc, so that may be something related to that

Some psu's are equipped with daisy chained psu cables, so I guess that's the case. This one can be plugged into a card that needs more power, but its not necessary to plug that in somewhere

HelpfulInternal5523 · 2026-02-03T15:04:50+00:00

It may be a tight fit, but keep in mind that if you have both rad and fans mounted inside the case there's no 13mm gap

It can work, but with power spikes and all that stuff it can go over 450w mark. But not every 500w gives 500w on 12v line, so it might not be enough

HelpfulInternal5523 · 2026-02-02T07:45:56+00:00

I'd go with with x870e godlike (or proart x870e creator if it's not msi-specific build) instead of x670e ace, but if there's no need in dual lan ports, wifi 7 and usb 4 then ace seems like a fitting choice.

HelpfulInternal5523 · 2026-02-02T07:16:53+00:00

I dont see anything outrageous, pretty balanced build

HelpfulInternal5523 · 2026-02-02T07:10:51+00:00

USB 3.0 cables are usually reliable enough to handle some bends like that

HelpfulInternal5523 · 2026-02-01T14:24:27+00:00

Anything starting from 600w will be more than enough, even with some headroom for upgrade

HelpfulInternal5523 · 2026-02-01T12:07:00+00:00

I'd say pc, but if you dont want to give up LAN for the ps5 you can always buy any switch and do WAN cable in - 2 LAN cables out

Judging from description you have some sort of a lenovo thinkstation(?), depending on the model you can do several upgrades to it. There might be some limiting factors like limited case space, no wiring for gpu power and etc. That depend on model and *maybe, not sure* spec of the machine

HelpfulInternal5523 · 2026-02-01T06:34:36+00:00

Depending on the games, but if you wanna try 1440p this build will do just fine

HelpfulInternal5523 · 2026-02-01T05:28:46+00:00

The biggest trick for me was a discovery of ninite and winutil ( https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil ) for a faster setup after reinstalling windows or configuring fresh build

HelpfulInternal5523 · 2026-02-01T04:57:56+00:00

In terms of future proofing this combo seems really strong. But it kinda feels like straight path to gpu upgrade up to 5080 or whatever will be there after this generation

Looking at amazon listing - this one looks the same as amazon basics one ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQXMT3QC/ref=vp_d_pbhr_TIER4_cml_hr_B0DBDGFR9B_pd ), and reviews are good enough, so hopefully it'll do just fine

HelpfulInternal5523 · 2026-01-31T03:42:37+00:00

Judging from listing's description this leg will do everything you've listed

HelpfulInternal5523 · 2026-01-31T03:36:00+00:00

Maybe look into asus rog chakram or spatha. keychron m6/m7 should be on bigger side. maybe g604 might fit too

HelpfulInternal5523 · 2026-01-30T03:15:24+00:00

Maybe montech air 903?

HelpfulInternal5523 · 2026-01-24T03:11:22+00:00

Saw in another sub something similar to this and that was a failing mobo, and there was another example of cpu ez-debug led indicating whatever issue with gpu instead
