Yeah I know but it's price is basically double the price for the Intel one , I'd get double the capacity and still have good NVMe speeds available. Thanks for the recommendation tho !

I thought about it but that jump in price is just too much money compared to this, I don't really care about speed THAT much, But it's still a factor since I am getting into Ai and Machine learning and I need to start training modules and neural networks and such... NVMe speeds are greater than Sata III's but going too much would just ruin the price/performance metric for me Oh gotchas, and yeah like I said I didn't find much information about the 220S that actually made sense, Thanks for clarifying it up

Uhm... Why though? (sorry for the dumb af question) Looking at the speeds (on paper) of the 220S, it simply blows it out so hard. Wanna laugh at me aswell? I am planning a big AMD build with a 3900X and I'm buying Intel SSD's On a serious note though, can you answer the same question mentioned at the start of this post? I'm really confused

Hi there, I would like to ask professionals here about those 2 specific 1TB NVMe SSD's. I have seen reviews about the 660p saying it's a good value option for a high capacity NVMe drive. Although it suffers from QLC-Based flash. The 660p is rated for 200TB writes. Intel 660p There is a Transcend 220S drive which is the same price as the 660p although I have yet to find ANY reviews for it on Youtube or Google that do give any info about the drive speeds. The technical specs page does show R/W numbers as well as IOPS and is rated for 800TB writes, but considering that there are no reviews whatsoever as well as that the website does not specify which flash it is (mostly QLC i think).... I kinda hesitated. Transcend 220S I would like more opinions / input on this from experienced users, Thanks alot

I've edited the comment just a few seconds ago, you can check it again

Yeah one of those. Most of the 650W 80+ gold I've found available are somewhere around 15$-25$ cheaper, imo I don't think going this low in wattage and efficiency is worth the price reduction, I'd rather spend the extra buck or two and be future proof. https://ksp.co.il/uin/46292 <- HX850 180$ https://ksp.co.il/?uin=46291 <- HX750 185$ for some reason the 750W one is actually more expensive...(???), I'm not familiar with refreshes and such, i've linked them, you can scroll a bit and see the specific model num for more info sorry for the Israeli link it's just the shop that I buy from, I converted to USD but it's gotta be different than retail in other places in the world. ------------------- I also forgot to mention that I'm trying to future proof this rig as much as possible so I don't really mind investing a bit more right now and just forget about it for atleast 4-5 years

Thanks for the fast response, I currently have a SeaSonic 620W one but it's bronze efficiency and i'm kinda reluctant on keeping it and causing future damage to my components... what is your opinion on it?

Hi there, in preparation for my new rig setup I've been stumbling upon many power supplies and with little knowledge I don't know which to choose. The rig consist of: CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X (with option for overclocking) GPU: Currently using a Sapphire RX580 LE, But I will be upgrading soon to (presumably) an RTX 2080 Super / Ti upon launch. (which option for overclocking) 3 Hard drives, 1 Sata SSD, and 1 NVMe SSD. Cooler: H115i Platinum RGB AIO. plus 4-5 case fans. I've did a bit of research myself and found those 2 attractive PSU's which are "relatively" cheap compared to other SKU's available in my region and are pretty much the same price. SeaSonic PRIME ULTRA 750W 80+ Gold (SSR-750GD2) vs Corsair 850W 80+ Platinum HX850 (CP-9020138-EU) I would like a tip on which to choose, and other cheap and good PSUs for my planned rig which can cut down the price are much appreciated.

I have had the same question haunting me and so far my research has proven to me that OS load times specifically slightly really improve from SATA III to NVMe, nothing majorly noticeable, especially with windows having the fast boot option which already improves load times. Other than that, you should check if your daily usage includes moving files frequently because then NVMe does offer big improvements.

I have experienced it (the ultrawide aspect) and I did like it, sadly I have purchased 2x Lenovo 144hz freesync monitors almost a year ago, and planning on switching one of them for the 240Hz one i got recently, the one i'll be replacing will be moved to the i5-2500k secondary rig. Also, I dont think I have the GPU power currently to run 1440p at high refresh rates.

I am just getting into the ML territory, Idk if I'll be sticking to that department or switch. For now I'm going to use to for personal-educational purposes to get a grasp of the field itself, It wont be doing any real-work.

The general plan is to wait for the reviews and then choose either the 3900X or the 3800X, depending on price and performance

I am waiting for official reviews, The thing is that prices are just too good and really justify my upgrade. Especially the 3900X because of the relatively high core count yet much cheaper than the 16 core one.

Hey guys, I'm planning on getting a whole new rig to replace the one in my signature because it is indeed getting old (i5-2500k). A little background on my current and future work, I am a 22 Y.O. software engineer doing an internship at Facebook and planning on going deep into the AI and Machine-Learning field. I have gotten a respectable sum of money and would like a build that would last me atleast 3-4 years without doing any hiccups in neither work field nor casual-serious gaming, and I have came to a conclusion that the new Ryzen lineup is just too good to pass on. CPU: 3900X (12C,24TH) RAM: 32GB 3200Mhz+ (planning on getting a 2x16 config for possible future upgrade to 64). Would like recommendations on specific ram kits and modules if anybody knows great kits. MOBO: any mid tier X570 (X470 might be an option if X570 prices are WAY high up there), recommendations would also be great, I obviously will be planning on overclocking the CPU (not to an extreme state, just to squeeze more performance) COOLING: Current plans are to grab a Hydro h100i Pro RGB, recommendations on a better AIO that is 360mm and doesn't break the bank are more than welcome. GPU: I currently have a Sapphire RX580 8GB Nitro+ LE card, It's doing me quite superbly for 1080P gaming and I wont be switch to 1440P gaming any time soon since I recently got a 240Hz 1080p monitor and most of the games I do play are FPS/Open-World. Future plans would be to grab an RTX 2060 Super if those get released pretty soon, granted reviews are good and the RX580 feels lacking. ---------------------- PSU: I currently have a SeaSonic 620W 80+ Bronze one, I dont know if it's enough for the whole rig (+ overclocking) and with the future RTX 2060 Super upgrade, If it's neccesary I will also purchase another PSU and keep the current one for the i5-2500k extra rig. STORAGE: I will be moving all my current storage solutions to the new system (which consist of 2x2TB HDDs, 1x Sata III 2.5" Sandisk SSD. Plans are to get an NVMe drive, Corsair MP510 is one of the few I looked at, a Samsung 970 Evo+ is also in consideration. CASE: I already have a full tower Corsair, no plans on getting a new one. I hope I explained the whole situation and reasons for upgrading each component as good and as brief as possible, any recommendations or tips are more than welcome.

Thanks for the suggestion, I've decided to go with the MP510 mostly because of the high performance yet cheap price compared to the SATA variants (which are almost the same price) and the 970 Evo Plus (which is almost double the price)
