Are you guys kidding me here, am i really in an enthusiast form discussing topics with enthusiasts ???

In an age where console storage is faster than a PCIe 3 drives, and developers start optimizing new games for modern SSDs, even putting SSDs in system requirements, you are here saying its not worth it !!!!

Listen... there is no doubt the SN550 is a good drive, but its only good for BUDGET BUILDS, something like an i5 11400 or Ryzen 3600 build, then yes, however the OP is clearly spending way over 2 grand for his build, at that price, what is a 60$ to get an up to date, future proofed SSD, to get the most out of his high end rig in future games ???

Unless the OP maybe already has the SN550 drives from a previous rig, thats ok, but for a new rig like that he MUST buy a good SSD, PCIe 3 3200mbs read minimum for future gaming.

The sn550 1tb is 100$ - the samsung 980 is 130$, but is about 40 faster, its really a no brainier for that build, op clearly has the cash he went overkill in most selections why cheap on the SSD ?

please dont delude him just to make yourselfs look right,


Wrong, anything above 3600mhz un less you have an 500$ overclocking exclusive board, you would put hours tweaking the bios to make the kit run stable, its only with rocket lake that became possible, but believe me if you are not an overclocking hobbiest you do not want the frustrations trouble shooting your memory for hours to make it run, i'v been there and it sucks, after all 3600mhz is more than plenty for an everyday user and gamer

I meant to say that Sata Ssd doesn't load games any faster than even the fastest nvme ssd.

One specific question I guess: No one said anything about the case, what do you guys think of it?!

It's way too big for my tastes but hell, you're the one who has to live with it, not me.

The largest case I own is a mid-tower Lian-Li Lancool II Mesh Performance however it's currently mothballed and living in a closet. It only comes out when I need to test a new component.

My primary gaming build is a Lian-Li O11D Mini which is more than adequate for a Ryzen 5900X and GeForce 3080 powered by a Silverstone SX800 SFX-L power supply. Good airflow, two glass panels and exceptionally accommodating for custom cooling. I have a couple of SFF cases from NZXT for other systems.
