Hi Guys, new to Overlockers and I'm here with a new/still building Rig setup, currently upgrading day by day with parts from my old setup and slowly getting through the rubbish!
haven't built a PC in about 8 years so bare with me!
My Current Rig Is:
CORSAIR Crystal Series 680X RGB Case, Black
Asus ROG STRIX X570-E Gaming
AMD Ryzen 7 3800XT 8-Core Processor Socket AM4 (1331) O/C at 4550Mhz
Corsair HS100i Watercooler
Corsair Vengeance DDR4 16GB (x2 8GB) @ 2666Mhz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB *OLD HARDWARE
Western Digital 1TB HDD *OLD HARDWARE
Western Digital 2TB HDD *OLD HARDWARE
Sandisc 120GB SSD *OLD HARDWARE
I have just purchased a:
1TB Gigabyte AORUS SSD, M.2 (2280) PCIe 4.0 (x4) NVMe SSD, 3D TLC, 5000MB/s Read, 4400MB/s Write which is on route!
I currently have my 120GB SSD as a system drive windows Windows 10 Pro.
My question is would you still use this "Slower" SSD as a system drive and use my new 1TB NVMe drive solely as a gaming drive? or is it worth having windows installed on the 1TB NVMe and completely ditching the old Sata SSD?
Will there be any noticeable differences for running windows on the faster drive or keeping them separate.
How would you set up these drives?
I am still wanting to keep the old 1TB and 2 TB Drives or at least one of them for other less used software etc But this is mainly a gaming setup!
Thanks guys any help is much appreciated
Boz.
