An Unfinished Build

Hey,

 

So, recently I rediscovered that I had an unfinished PC laying around at my mother's house, back when I was mad crazy about building PCs back in 2016. I had that thing planned out and, well, it didn't really get finished.

Now, I just want opinions on the *new* planned specs to add to this rig. I'm not necessarily replacing any of the existing components (except one), but I would like input on it.

 

Here goes nothing:

 

CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K*
CPU COOLER: Noctua NH-D15*

MOBO: ASRock Z170 Pro4*

RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V 2x8GB DDR4-3000*

HDD1: Seagate Barracuda 2TB*

HDD2: Seagate Barracuda 3TB

HDD3: Seagate Barracuda 3TB

SSD1: Intel 660p 1.02T

SSD2: Samsung 860 QVO 2TB

GPU: EVGA RTX 2070 SUPER 8GB BLACK GAMING
CASE: Corsair 750D*

PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA G3 650W 80+ Gold*

5.25" BAY1: (I need an ODD recommendation, I have an actual use for one)

5.25" BAY2: SilverStone FP-59 Multi-Functional 5.25" Drive Bay

OS: Windows 10 Home

PCIe: SilverStone ECS03 ASMedia 1062R SATA Controller

 

Basically, apart from general input, I do also want a recommendation for an optical disk drive - preferably something black, and internal, so I can put it in my 5.25" bay.

If you're wondering why I am planning to have a lot of space, I have a lot of media data; photos, videos, movies, tv shows, games, etc. 6TB of that is planned to be run in RAID, but only once I have a UPS.

Peripherals will be as follows:

MOUSE: Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum*

KEYBOARD: Corsair K68 RGB

PRIMARY MONITOR: BenQ XL2720 27" 144hz

SEC. MONITOR1: BenQ RL2755HM 27" 60hz*

SEC. MONITOR2: BenQ RL2755HM 27" 60hz

 

Anything with an asterisk (*) is already owned. Photo of it's current state attached. I do have the 2.5" chassis' in a box in my closet, if you're wondering.

I might have been a bit stupid back then too, because that NH-D15 clashes in clearance space with (a lot of) RAM DIMMs. But we found a way to make it fit.
