great drive

Intel 660p Series M.2 2280 1TB PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 3D2, QLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDPEKNW010T8X1
Intel 660p Series M.2 2280 1TB PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 3D2, QLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDPEKNW010T8X1

Pros: great product, really easy to install and temperatures aren't too bad. the speed is fast, benchmarked at ~1.5GB/s

Cons: the drive gets slightly hot on sustained loads, but it lowers in temperature soon. make sure to have good cooling or consider a heatsink if doing heavy sustained workloads

Overall Review: it's a good product, seems best as a price per gb option.

great case

Fractal Design Define 7 XL Black Brushed Aluminum / Steel E-ATX Silent Modular Full Tower Computer Case
Fractal Design Define 7 XL Black Brushed Aluminum / Steel E-ATX Silent Modular Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: - tremendous space - build quality - includes 2 hdd cages - lots of optional includes - the silence due to the sound dampening material - airflow is still viable with silent walls using high power 140mm fans

Cons: - the price is a bit high, but this is apparently necessary for the warranty and build quality that you get

Overall Review: I heard good things about this case and had owned a Define R5 prior, moved to this new build. Works great, very silent and optimized, helps me work on my gamedev projects. Thanks a lot Fractal!

good psu

CORSAIR RMx Series RM750x CP-9020179-NA 750 W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Power Supply

Pros: - wattage - silence

Cons: - the sleeving of the motherboard cable could be fiber instead of plastic

Overall Review: This is a great psu for the price and options for modularity. Bought this to upgrade my current build.

great fans

Pros: quiet cools 5960x to around 75 c at 4.4ghz 1.28v at roughly 85% load (when rendering)

Overall Review: x99 for the win with this board
