You could have upgraded the CPU in your current build but anyhow...

There's a roundup of X870 boards here:

The PSU in my spec is based on the Seasonic Vertex, review here:

Antec HCG1000 Pro Platinum 1000W PSU Review - KitGuru

It has been some time since we last looked at a power supply from Antec, however today we analyse a

www.kitguru.net

Note that the Vertex has a 2 year longer warranty (12 year).

The Antec has enough connectors 3x independent PCI-E cables and 2x EPS 12v for motherboard/CPU.

My basket at OcUK:

Thank you very much. Could you please advise for m.2 2tb, because 512gb is not enough this days. Or upgrade motherboard to have 2 slots of m.2 storage. So I can have system windows on 512gb separate, does it effect windows runs quicker ?

Thank you.

Or upgrade motherboard to have 2 slots of m.2 storage.

Most boards have at least 2, X870/X870E normally has 3 or 4.

So I can have system windows on 512gb separate, does it effect windows runs quicker ?

If you just play games it is not important, but you can keep your drive so there's no problem.

Could you please advise for m.2 2tb

Based on current prices, I would suggest this one for a higher-end drive with DRAM:

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Crucial T500 2TB NVMe PCIe Gen4 M.2 Solid State Drive (SKU: STO-CRU-01090) = £133.99

Total: £137.99 (includes delivery: £3.99)​
