And here is a short article I wrote for the Completed Builds section of PCPartPicker’s web site.
P.S. I’m waiting for rebates for Video Card and Motherboard.
Here are some things that I’m learning about this build.
- Samsung SSD 960 EVO 500GB NVMe m.2
- Install Samsung Magician to manage it.
- This SSD is supposed to be good for 400TB of writes.
