Rate my PC did I do anything wrong ?

1 TB will fill up quick and it's a DRAM less drive that will use system RAM for cache, making it slower than a drive with DRAM. Otherwise looks good. I'd swap it for a WD Black SN850X 2TB or Samsung 990 Pro (not 990 EVO)

Is the motherboard overkill for the build

If I was you I would probably go for an AM5 motherboard like X670E or B650E (E is for Extreme and is for your price range prob. the best). For the processor I would go for a 9600x or 7600x if you want to save some money. And make sure your RAM is AMD EXPO optimized. If possible go for a 2 TB SSD lik

What's the best SSD Upgrade for the new XB Rog Ally X?

I see a lot of people recommending the 990 Pro for the Xbox Ally X, but before you go get the fastest and most expensive drive, think about power consumption. The stock Samsung MZ-VMA1T00 (PM9A1) already balances solid speed with power efficiency, usually drawing around 4.5W under load. The 990 Pro,

My boyfriend wants M.2 for his PC for Christmas??? But idk anything about it so how can I figure it out without spoiling the surprise to him lol

I recently bought the WD_BLACK SN850X NVMe SSD 2 TB. On November 18, it was €150, but now it's a little more expensive (€177). The 4 TB version currently costs €300.

Microsoft issues a fresh statement (Sept 3) on Windows 11 SSD corruption reports, denies any connection

well, this is clearly microsoft trying to deny responsibility. Yesterday, I encountered a similar issue with my secondary nvme SSD even though I had already uninstalled KB5063878 (i guess the as others mentioned the servicing stack still applied and can't be roll back). My WD Black SN850 1TB drive r
