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

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

Moving Resources Into External Drive to Save Storage (Mac Case)

you can just install MacOS on your external SSD and use it as the startup drive and install wuthering waves there. That's what I did and I'm casually playing like I did not have the same problem before with a 256GB HDD. Just make sure your SSD is equally fast as your internal SSD or there will be pr

Would this build be enough for rust?

What resolution do you play at? If 1440p you probably want a better GPU. Rust likes the x3d chips, would be fine with a 7800x3d to save a bit of money. B840 mobo is not a good idea. B650 or B850 are better choices. Gigabyte eagle or MSI gaming plus are solid. The e100 is not a great SSD for a few re

Are there any decent stores that sell used SSDs? The websites I've found all try to bait and switch me.

anything used is always a risk. that is why used is prices lower than new That's what I'm looking for but I'm not finding them cheaper at all. Taking Best Buy, for instance, they have a refurbished gen 3 here: https://www.bestbuy.com/product/samsung-geek-squad-certified-refurbished-970-evo-plus-500g

Texture popping in AC: Shadows PC 4k

How do you know it's SSD-related? The WD Blue SN5000 4 TB is a fast drive, even though it uses SLC NAND, and it's not like I'm using a ton of disk IO for other stuff simultaneously. The other guy said he had a Samsung 990 PRO which is just about the best quality NVMe SSD that you can get these days.
