People that only use one HD are fucking maniacs to me.
Maybe hes got some lying around the house from past builds. Shit I think between my PC and all the kids we have littoral DOZENS SSD, many which are nvme. I even have some older 3TB platters lying around too.

it's obviously a gaming pc w/ a 4070, so you should get a 9800x3d

and i'd also would want to see a more modern case, at least one that supports vertical gpu mounting, not to show it off, but b/c so many issues arise from a heavy card sure you can also buy a gpu mount or stick a pencil under it too.

Ok I'm pretty tarded when it comes to the nuts and bolts of desktops. I have this motherboard, wondering what my best option for adding another SSD is. From what I can gather i should get one to go in one of the two free M.2 connections on the board. The third one looks open and not behind the graphics card. This is how the manual describes it:
1 x M.2 connector (M2C_SB), integrated in the Chipset, supporting Socket 3,
M key, type 22110/2280 PCIe 4.0 x4/x2 SSD support)

Is this correct?

unless you get an nvme with a big heat sink attached they should sit flush enough to not interfere with the vid card. Also have standard sata ports on the side if you just want capacity storage for a large SSD.

yea what this jumble mess means
e4556af218a6de15c5cca106c9ed9afd.png

is that the first one (closet to cpu, usually) is tied to the cpu and is pci5/4, this should be your main c:\ nvme w/ the bestest nvme

second is also tied to the cpu w/ less lanes so it's pci4 if you drop a second nvme in here it "might" drop speeds idk i haven't checked

third is tied to the chipset at pci4 this also shares lanes w/ sata so if drop a nvme in slot 3 AND you have sata drives, you might be dropping a drive if you have for instance 4sata drives connected

in truth you can just drop em in and not notice any loss of speed or issues unless you actually have 4 sata drives and you decide to use slot 3

Last 2 builds I had M2 drives in 3 slots, fastest in slot 1
cannot tell any difference between any of them. They are all fast as hell!
