A55

Never had an issue with Samsung SSDs. 850 EVO, 870 EVO, 970 EVO. My Silicon Power A55 (I call it ASS) sometimes and randomly refuses to be recognized. I have to wait and then restart and then it'll fix itself. Scary stuff that's why I just store less important stuff on this.

well, even these slower drives are more than double the price they were a year ago, so don't be picky, and stay away from Samsung, just too expensive.

Go with a slightly used well known quality brand that's also has a good health score; rated by Crystal Disk Info (software).

Whatever you can fit into your current budget with the inflated prices, really. For gaming, even the type/generation of SSD (SATA vs PCIe 3.0 vs 4.0 vs 5.0) is all barely different, much less individual models.

I think for you here the Ryzen 9 5950x is the best option with its massive multi-core power.That is assuming you often work with high track count orchestral templates. SSD: Samsung evo is a great drive with good sustained read/write speeds, added a cheaper sata drive for less commonly used templates
