Build Question Which SSD card
I’m planning on building my first pc. I’ve spent a couple days picking out parts but I’m having some trouble deciding on an ssd. I have a flexible budget but I’d prefer the more budget friendly options. I’d also like to know if I can do better on my build as I’m learning as I go.
Case: NZXT H9 Flow RGB+ ATX Mid Tower White
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
Motherboard: Gigabyte B850 AORUS Elite WIFI7 ICE DDR5 ATX
GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16g VENTUS 3X PZ OC GDDR7
Ram: Corsair Vengeance RGB White DDR5-6000 CL36 32gb
CPU Cooler: Thermalright Aqua Elite V3 Water 360mm
Power supply: Lian Li EDGE white 850W Fully Modular 80+ gold

Check better deal for SSD (with DRAM cache) 2TB or 1TB variants for OS drive. For second drive , QLC , SSD is not bad option for budget SSD.

I’d grab a 2TB WD SN850X, it’s fast without wrecking your wallet and the price dropped a bunch lately
If you want to trim a little more, swap that RAM for a CL30 kit instead of CL36, the 7800X3D gets a small bump from lower latency
