Final list for new build

Get a better SSD lol
A QLC drive for a main drive after spending hundreds on pointless ARGB fans????
I'm not the OP but I've just bought the same SSD for my modest mid-tier build.

What are the drawbacks of QLC drives for day to day use?

tl;dr
1) performance drops off a cliff for large-file writes or as the drive gets full due to the pseudo-SLC cache running out of space, sustained transfers are no faster than a hdd once the cache is depleted
2) poorer longevity, especially when using it as a main drive with a swap file (but probably not noticeable for most users)

Thanks. I might be sending it back then (it's not been opened/used yet)
 
lets see your final list so we can make fun of it? :P
That's not allowed :cry:

Asus AMD ROG STRIX B650E-E Gaming WIFI AM5 DDR5 ATX Gaming Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR5 6000MHz
Kingston Fury Renegade 2TB M.2 Internal SSD
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, AM5, Zen 4, 8 Core, 16 Thread, 4.2GHz, 5.0GHz Turbo, 96MB Cache, PCIe 5.0, 120W TDP
PowerColor Radeon RX 7900XTX Red Devil OC
Thermalright Frozen Prism 360 Black ARGB
Antec C3 ARGB Black
EZDIY-FAB PSU Cable Extension Sleeved Cables

All I need to find now is a GPU support bracket but struggling to find the Antec one so if there are any other suggestions, I've never really liked the weight GPU's put on motherboards, I always get the horrible feeling it'll snap
 
@neil_1821 that's not too bad a list
did you not want to go for a white case/aio?

the black-in-white build doesn't look half-bad
i only went with a black aio because i couldn't get slim 140mm fans in white lol
(yes, the plastic is still on the glass, no, i don't intend to remove it)

That’s nice but nah, I’m not a white case person, I like black, suits my desk and room.

Ah I’ll see what comes with the GPU then, for the price it should come with a support!
