CRAS C910

I'd avoid the MSI M461. It has a low endurance rating of 450 TBW for the 2 TB model, but the industry standard is 600 TBW per TB of capacity. That likely means that it uses QLC flash, so it'll slow down around 50% capacity. Around the $100 mark, I'd go for either the KingSpec XF, Klevv C910, or the

Tl;dr: I'd buy one of these two: White build - $2,277: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PJyt8Z Black build - $2,053: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NMFbh9 You build is waaaaay better than OP's, but still not perfect imo: A 240mm AiO might be fine cooling-wise but it will look really bad in a 360mm space
