990 EVO Plus

4TB 990 EVO Plus on Amazon right now for £525, but that 2.5” 4TB 870 EVO is up for £839. That’s just wild, what the hell.

Yes, more memory will prevent swapping. And replacing the HDD with an SSD is worth it. But the 990 Pro is overkill; get a cheaper drive like the 990 EVO Plus or TeamGroup MP33, which have the same performance in your application. As far as I can see, the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1650 OC 4G has two HDMI

Any 6000 RAM with CL less than 40 will work fine. some good SSDs: WD Blue SN5000/SN7100, Kioxia Exceria Plus G3/Plus G4, Samsung 990 EVO Plus; get whichever one is cheapest.

you got to much m.2 ssds. You could get 1 4tb 990 evo plus which would (probably) cost the same as 4 1tb ones. The motherboard got only 3 nvme connectors.

The Legend 860 and NV3 use QLC flash, so I did not list them. The 990 EVO Plus is the cheapest.

looks can be deceiving with those MSI boards. the second slot under the chipset heatsink is actually a standard M.2 2280 size, same as the first one. it just looks shorter because the cover is smaller. you can fit any full-size NVMe drive in there. for a secondary game drive, i'd grab something like
