Will this 140mm case fan and you heatsink/fan be enough for case and components?

Thx in advance chaps.

PS there are a few offers on the BF sale on some of the 3d lazer case build components kindly listed for me.

I believe that is the one the designer used.

not sure if @K888D is still active on here ...

Morning. What are your thoughts on using pcie SSD instead of regular SSD?
I hear that the main difference is much faster loading times (OS and games etc)

What you linked is still a sata 3 drive.

M.2 is the form factor. I think you're thinking about nvme for the increased speeds.

Nvme only comes in m.2 form factor, whereas sata 3 drives come in 2.5 inch (your typical drive) and m.2 form factor.

Going from sata to nvme yields very little difference unless one is hammering the storage subsystem (eg same drive copies or large file read/writes from video editing)

 

[Raumarik]

@tamzzy I see people mixing up M.2 and NVME loads at the moment due to SATA also working in M.2 slots.

Normally I just say go for an M.2 slot drive if you are bothered about additional cables, otherwise SATA is fine for 99.9% of people. I only think I benefit when I'm doing heavy video editing, normal edit probably isn't any better and is more impacted by RAM availability, speed and CPU resource.

Tamzy and Raumarik thank you for explanation and video link!
Much appreciated chaps.

Can be quite confusing if one isn't an enthusiast, isn't it? Lol

Merry Christmas all.

Since last post I’ve bought most of components whilst they where/are on specials which allowed me to upgraded mobo and cpu. I read some positive reviews on mobo: https://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/msi_b450i_gaming_plus_ac_review,1.html

I am hanging out until next payday (3 weeks/no rush) to purchase last of components, GPU and PSU.
I did not and will not spend any time or money with children and family over Christmas and new year so should have £250+ to play with...

Any recommendations for GPU? 1060 gtx ti perhaps?

Thanks for all the great help and advice chaps!

Hi all. I've installed all the components into case etc.
Should I use the DVI port/cable on GPU to the monitor for setting up win10/software etc?
I tried with hdmi cable I had lying around but no joy (both on mobo and gpu).
Forgive me its been a while since last build....
The good news is that the pc powers up and all seems to be on inside....
