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-

Thoughts on this build?

That looks fantastic id just grab a diff ssd, the mp44l had a swapped controller and is kinda poopy now. Crucial p310 tends to be reasonably priced, or maybe teamgroup nv5000 of wd sn5000.

[SSD] Western Digital 2TB WD Blue SN5000 NVMe SSD, PCIe Gen 4.0 $124.00

Just picked one up this morning. Wanted to grab the SN850X 2TB for $15 more, but when I got to the store, there were none on the shelf, even though they showed in stock. Asked the girl in electronics to check, and she said there was one listed, but it "must be in someone's cart". Picked this up inst

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. De wd nvme is tlc inplaats van de p3 qlc. Qlc is minder betrouwbaar en wordt traag bij veel dingen ops

SATA or NVMe stick

Some other options that have good value would be a WD Black SN7100 or WD BLACK SN850X and if you want yo go more budget you can do WD Blue SN5000 there is more options that I didn't put here

Trying to max out performance on a new build

The 7600X3D is too expensive - it's the same price as the 7800X3D. Suggestions below to get much better performance with a 9070 XT GPU for less cost. CPU: The 7600X3D is much too expensive at €337 - that's the same price for the 7800X3D. Switched to the 7500X3D which still provides good gaming perfo
