worked great

ORICO M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure, USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) to NVMe PCI-E M.2 SSD Case Support UASP for NVMe SSD Size 2230/2242/2260/2280(up to 4TB)
ORICO M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure, USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) to NVMe PCI-E M.2 SSD Case Support UASP for NVMe SSD Size 2230/2242/2260/2280(up to 4TB)

Overall Review: I used this to clone my 128 GB M.2 SSD onto a 1 TB M.2 SSD. This little enclosure worked great and came with 2 types of cables, a tiny screwdriver, and a thermal pad. Build quality feels good. Very happy with this product.

Good PSU

Seasonic S12III 550 SSR-550GB3 550W 80+ Bronze, ATX12V & EPS12V, Direct Output, Smart & Silent Fan Control, Power Supply
Seasonic S12III 550 SSR-550GB3 550W 80+ Bronze, ATX12V & EPS12V, Direct Output, Smart & Silent Fan Control, Power Supply

Pros: works without issue very quiet runs cool

Cons: a little more expensive than other brands, but worth the premium

Overall Review: I usually buy the cheapest 80+ Bronze name brand PSU that meets my power requirements, and so far I've liked this Seasonic the most. It worked right out of the box, the connectors fit well, it's quiet, and it runs cool. It's also heavier than other 600W PSU's I've purchased, which I subjectively equate with better quality. Seasonic seems to generally have a good reputation online.

Pros: - great price - the modular cables are well thought out and each cable includes 2 types of connectors for easier cable management - 5 year warranty - very quiet

Cons: - about 2 pounds lighter than my Corsair CV650

great budget GPU

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER WINDFORCE OC 4G Graphics Card, 2 x WINDFORCE Fans, 4GB 128-Bit GDDR6, GV-N165SWF2OC-4GD Video Card
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER WINDFORCE OC 4G Graphics Card, 2 x WINDFORCE Fans, 4GB 128-Bit GDDR6, GV-N165SWF2OC-4GD Video Card

Pros: only needs a 350 watt PSU strong enough to play games smoothly at a 1080P, high graphics, and 60 FPS a great upgrade for a pre-built PC

Cons: fans are loud when they spin up tp max, but that would only happen occasionally, and that stopped happening once I added a front fan to the PC case

Overall Review: this card provides a great gaming experience and won't break the bank
