Late to the party but glad I joined
SAMSUNG 990 EVO PLUS SSD 4TB, PCIe Gen 4x4 | Gen 5x2 M.2 2280, Speeds Up-to 7,250 MB/s, Upgrade Storage for PC/Laptops, HMB Technology and Intelligent Turbowrite 2.0 (MZ-V9S4T0B/AM)
Pros: - Easy to install - Cost - plenty of win for the $
Cons: - None
Overall Review: I'm late to the party, moving away from the old-style SATA SSD-mounted drives. I was unsure how the m.2 would work. Clearly, my age was showing, but I'm glad I finally decided to move to these drives. Not only is it fast read/write, but it also cleaned up the case and cabling.

Wonderful case
Fractal Design Focus G Black ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Pros: - Easy to assemble - looks great - Nice options for cable management
Cons: - None
Overall Review: I built two systems and used this case for my recording studio's gaming PC and the DAW. I added some new RGB fans in one to give them a different look.

So far so good
Intel Core Ultra 9 285K - Core Ultra 9 (Series 2) Arrow Lake 24-Core (8P+16E), LGA 1851, 125W Desktop Processor - BX80768285K
Pros: - Cost - Speed - Performance
Cons: - None
Overall Review: So far, I love the Ultra 9 - I use it to power my digital audio workstation, and it does not blink when running several soft synths or doing large audio conversions.

Works and looks amazing
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Halo Black CPU Air Cooler, MF120 Halo² Fan, Dual Loop ARGB, Aluminum Top Cover, 4 Copper Heat Pipes, 154mm (H) for AMD Ryzen AM5/AM4, Intel LGA 1851 1700/1200 (RR-S4KK-20PA-R1)
Pros: - quiet - color - cooling - super secure mount
Cons: - Installing the fan on the heatsink was confusing with the clips - Instructions were terrible, but the image on the box helped get the install finished
Overall Review: Installed on a new build using the new Ultra 9 CPU, it works and looks impressive. The install is a tad tricky due to the instructions, but I was able to complete the build in less than 20 minutes
