I love the deal but I don't have the money for it

lol that isnt a deal. last year 4tb ssd were $180-$250 regularly $600 and feeling good about it has you brain washed. if you absolutely have to buy a product during a shortage you want to spend the least amount of money possible https://pcpartpicker.com/product/XX88TW/western-digital-wd-blue-sn5000-

Someone save me from myself please

That Fifine microphone and interface aren't compatible, it's a USB-only mic with an XLR interface. If you want the interface for easy access to the volume sliders then you need a Fifine AM8 or K688 if you want to stick to the same brand. Otherwise get rid of the interface and just keep the USB mic.

Gutted PC

IMO there's no need for a low-profile cooler like the AXP90-X53. A Thermalright Assassin X 90 SE is cheaper and will fit inside that casing .An AMD Wraith Prism (the one with the heatpipes) is another option, but only if you can get one for cheap. Don't get a WD Green SSD as a boot drive. Those are

First pc build

Zie Amazon voor cpu cooler Zie Amazon voor case fans Zie tweakers.net voor nvme Zie tweakers.net voor gpu Zie tweakers.net voor psu De psu is B+ tier dat is echt meer dan voldoende voor deze build.

Is this legit?

People don't understand that read/write speeds mean nothing. So they will say it's slow just because it doesn't reach the 7000+ Read/Write. When in reality it all comes down to access times and application/gaming traces. Here's a transcript from Tom's Hardware review on the SN5000: "The WD Blue SN50

Consigli su una build per giocare a 1080/1440

The EQ790 uses QLC flash, which has low durability and becomes noticeably slower after a few years. Get a better drive with TLC flash like the Biwin Black Opal NV7400 or WD Blue SN5000.

First build opinions

The NV3 often uses QLC flash, which has low durability and becomes noticeably slower after a few years; it should not be used for the OS. Get a better drive with TLC flash like the Lexar NM620 256 GB/512 GB or WD Blue SN5000.
