help choosing parts

noahshadow

i have a kinda a open budget just truly looking on getting a build that works best and isnt overkill for my needs as a casual gamer and trader. i am also wondering if this is a okay to press order and get it ready to be picked up and would air or water cooling be better for transport if it is a 2 hour drive back to my house

Hello! Your build looks pretty solid! Our technicians in store will generally select the M.2 to install the OS on so if you are planning to keep your game drive and OS drive separate I highly recommend getting another M.2 instead of SATA drives as M.2s run much better than SATA. The motherboard itself supports 3 x M.2 slots and 4 x SATA 6Gb/s port so there would not be a problem adding another M.2 here.
