You can still use the ssd to store yunno your collectibles right?
Another question what's the difference between
Asus AC53 Compact Nano USB AC Wireless Adaptor
And
Asus USB-AX56 Dual Band AX1800 USB WiFi Adapter
you can indeed
in general, the primary ssd is usually a higher performance drive, so cost/gb is higher and not normally tending to use it for storage
the storage drive is a slower/cheaper ssd, or a large capacity hdd
AC = wifi5
AX = wifi6
WiFi 5 vs. WiFi 6: What's the Difference? | TP-Link United Kingdom
Home and business owners looking for networking gear hesitate between WiFi 5 and WiFi 6 products. To make a rational choice, we first need to understand the key differences between WiFi 5 and WiFi 6.

AX is newer/faster but tbh not really needed in 99% of use cases
personally would also avoid usb wifi adapters in general. if you need wifi...get a pci-e wifi card instead or a mobo with wifi already built in
With the pre-builds, some of them don't have pci-e option, maybe because they're MATX, so the internal slot/space can't be guaranteed.
With the budget that I'm rolling with and the options I'm going with I'll probably have to make do with the WiFi adapters.you can indeed

They'll do there job right? Are there any big problems with them?
ah yeah fair enough, just seen op wants a prebuilt
you can call up ocuk and ask if they would make a change to the build - this is not beyond the realms of possibility as they've made more drastic changes to other builds before
my (limited) experience of USB wifi adapters haven't been good...they seem to always overheat and drop out if doing large file downloads/transfers
ymmv but i would now always go with a PCIE card for wifi (or just have it on the mobo)
What @Tetras said. 27 inch to maybe 32 inch is 1440p. Anything larger get 4k.Probably best to start a new thread in the monitor forum, with your budget/requirements, I'm one of the worst people on the forum to ask about monitors
For what it is worth, I think 27" is too large for 1080p, so I'd be going 1440p. But, 1440p is also more demanding on the graphics card.
I have no idea if these are good monitors, but the resolution and the size seems better.
My basket at OcUK:
- 1 x Cooler Master 27" GA271 2560x1440 VA 100Hz A-Sync Widescreen Gaming Monitor (SKU: MO-007-CM) = £139.99
- 1 x Cooler Master 24" GA241 1920x1080 VA 100Hz 1ms FreeSync Widescreen Gaming Monitor (SKU: MO-004-CM) = £84.99
Total: £236.96 (includes delivery: £11.98)
You can just use a dpi calculator. You can see the clarity of what you are currently using or are used to. However, don't think you should drop below 91 DPI which is a standard 1080p 24 inch.
1080p at 27 inch is under 82dpi. 1440p at 27 inch is 109dpi
I use the C: (primary) drive for OS and programs, everything else on other drives. I never run games from the C drive.
How come?
Back in the day games ran smoother from a second drive as the OS drive is always doing stuff, smalls 4K write and general stuff. Might not be noticeable now as drives are a lot faster.
