All the PC parts should be compatible on paper but if there is something standing out please let me know. Or if there is a better alternative that I am not aware of, I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
PS. The 6750xt was $379 just yesterday :( Missed my window.
Unless you really need the 2.5tib ssd, I would replace it with a higher storage hdd. Personally I store alot of shit on my PC, including the newer games which are well over 100-200 gbs.
Also its not a 2.5 TB ssd but just a 1 TB 2.5 inch drive. At which point they can probably spend the extra 7 dollars so they can actually get NVME speeds with an extra M.2 drive rather than using SATA but then again that is nit picking since realistically we haven’t seen a huge difference between SATA and NVME at least for games at the current moment.
It is an SSD though? It says “solid state drive” in the item description…
It is an SSD but its using SATA as the interconnect so its limited to Sata 3.0 speeds which caps out around 600MB/s. So while it is an SSD not all SSDs are the same. So typically the 2.5 inch ones are a bit slower (in theory).
Thank you for your thoughts! Only reason I picked the ssd is perceived reliability. Hoping to keep the machine for at least 10 years. I don’t expect the hdd randomly failing but you never know. Maybe I need to research the storage option a little bit more.
When I installed my SSD, my PC’s startup time went from several minutes (or at least felt like it) to maybe like 30 seconds. I use HDDs for extra storage.
in terms of reliability SSDs are nearly similar to HDDs now, technology has fastly progressed. If all you’re worried about is reliability, and not storage, then the SSD will perform just fine.
