Too much money wasted on unnecessary parts. You are literally burning 130K plus on a system that should only costs 100-108K. I would just suggest avoiding PC Worth with the current parts list they have Choose cheaper ram, go for a DDR5 6000 CL38 kits, most of those will be around 8-9k. Its not worth

Yes, I know. The 2TB to 4TB part swapping is one example but a very common one. Orico isn't the only company who does this unfortunately. Silicon Power US75 also swaps between TLC and QLC within the same storage size option: https://www.techpowerup.com/ssd-specs/silicon-power-us75-4-tb.d2343 Kingsto

Hab mir grad die Dubaro seite angeschaut, die einzige SSD die sich noch lohnt ist die Kioxia Exceria pro. Die WD Blue / Kingston / die andere Kioxia platte, hat meiner meinung nix verloren im diesem Rechner. Wenn die platte ca 150mb/s nur noch schreibt wenn die voller wird dann man es sein lassen. K

NV3 is not a very good SSD. Kingston's NV line of SSDs have all been bait-n-switch models where the first release and review samples they send out are using quality components that test and thus review very well, and then they immediately replace them with the cheapest parts they can find that can (

pretty much the other way around: WD Black 1TB as boot drive and Kingston NV3 4TB (if they make it) as secondary. People do this to save money. But if you can afford WD Black 4TB, you dont need to get two drives (4TB is plenty for a lot of people); you can get that WD Black 4TB now and when you run

General parts for both builds: SSD for Operating System (CachyOS, Windows,...) i recommend a 1tb ssd. It doesnt need to be the fastest. A Kingstom NV3 1TB for 115€ will suffice. If you want something more reliable go Samsung 980/990pro. For gaming a PCIe Gen 4 is a good choice. Gen5 is faster, but t
