Kill this, PLEASE

Would probably have to make that sacrifice to strictly fit it into the £400 budget...
or sneak it past the wife somehow

 

I'd recommend you grab a new PSU too

 

More the age, now feels like a good time when you're investing that kind of money

 

B450 / R 3xxx

 

Yeah B450 if you're only going 6 cores.

Strix is quite nice and cheaper.

 

I would spend the £15 extra for the 500GB version of the SSD.

 

Surely you could sell your old parts for enough to get a new one?

 

C is a proper NVME drive using PCIe and B is a SATA drive. C has 50TBW more than B.Go for this, faster and has twice the write endurance!

 

£18 quid more will get you the same but 480gb from cclonline

I don't know much about nvme's, but i've been looking at the adata sx8200 pro as looking as good value, thats about 41 quid for 256gb (£78 for the 512) (what reviews i've seen it seems decent)

 

Looking at the datasheet, those one have TBW of 160(256GB), 320TBW(512GB), 640TBW(1TB), so the Corsair I link too is still a lot better for about the same price!

Edit, just saw you initially linked to the larger version of the Corsair drive I was referring to the Adata one you linked to Those Corsair drives are fantastic for the price!

 

hp nvme drives are dirt cheap (in comparison)
