Need Help Choosing Parts

Robert50

I put this parts list together and am looking for some advice. https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=39890b26-fb93-4d09-b602-35d2a1be24af

Greetings @Robert50

Build looks good overall. I question why you're buying a SATA SSD, instead of a second NVME drive for the same price. It would have considerably better read and write speeds. Your PC does have 2xM.2.

Thermals aren't going to be an issue unless you heavily overclock this processor. Liquid metal is pretty extreme. The fact that it's highly conductive with a low viscosity makes it something you  need to be very careful about using. Generally if you're using this on a Desktop CPU, you're delidding it and using it on the cores to lower your temps. On this CPU the IHS is soldered, you don't really want to get into that.

I would just stick to Kryonaut for thermal paste.
