Thanks, so, much, for the, input, Crone.
Just kidding lmao. Yeah after doing some digging, you're right but ultimately I think I'm going to go with this Samsung m.2 2280 (970?) 1TB SSD. I got a deal at $140, hard to pass up. Going to put in an extra 2TB hard drive since those are relatively affordable now. $50-60 is nothing for storage like that. Last time I looked at prices for 2TB HD the shit was like $500. Things change so quickly sometimes with tech, I feel like a complete dumbass learning things all over. Picking it up quickly though.
All in all, doing a 3700X with 32GB Corsair Vengeance RAM. 570X Asus MOBO. Corsair 750W Power Supply. 2070 Super from GIGABYTE, I like the triple fan. I hope it's not just marketing bullshit, as it seems like it helps the air flow. NH-U12S Noctua fan most likely, only piece at this point that is still somewhat up in the air. All packing into a Lian Li 011 Dynamic case in white. RAM/GFX card and whatever other pieces I can reasonbly find will also be in white. Rest in black for a B/W minimalist combo. Any LEDs will be changed to a soft white or whatever looks good, no bright rainbow RGB shit. Razer Mercury edition mouse. Razer Blackwidow KB with all the keys replaced to be Razer Mercury White, so the steel case of the keyboard is gunmetal blackish and the keys will be a white matching the mouse. I already owned the keyboard, so the keys were only $30.
Ending up spending a bit more money than I said I would. I assume this happens to everyone. Everytime I think 'this is it' and get ready to pull the trigger, I find something to upgrade or some excuse to spend $40-60 somewhere on something and justify it somehow. Lol.
Now to account for shipping costs and wait for it all to come together and finish this shit. Sad thing is, first games I'm going to load and play are old as fuck with shitty graphics and I have accepted that I hate myself for it lmao, is what it is. DoTA, Final Fantasy Tactics emulation, old CRPGs and Pillars of Eternity, ahhh...can't wait. I will absolutely max this thing out when Cyberpunk and shit comes out though.
Thanks to everyone for the help, I went from remembering jack all about any of this shit to getting very close to my dream build in a very short amount of time. Hell yeah.
edit; also thanks for steering me towards the 3700X. Looks like I really got a deal and that's exactly the performance I need. Biting the bullet with Windows 10 sucks dick but whatever. I'll mod the fuck out of it.
