You can get the 970 EVO significantly cheaper, and it's significantly better. Ditch the WD.

I hope you're not actually paying that much for a 1080Ti. Waste of money. The 2080Ti is $300 cheaper.

Go with the G2 PSU instead of the G3, or something equivalent. The G3 wasn't the greatest, even though it's newer.

I bought the 1080Ti used on Ebay for $570. Is the Samsung 970 EVO an NVMe M.2 SSD?

Much better...

+ 16 core

+ Ultra Wide Monitor

+ 970evo

+ 2080ti (although 2080 would also be great).

Also that WD NVMe SSD was under $250 the other day, now it's almost $400; that's insane.

the 2000RPM variants of the NF-A14 industrial are better if they are cheaper, past that RPM it's very loud (the two share the same design) and you wont want them run like that anyway.

 

Multiple 3-4TB HDDs make more sense, if you want speed you can put them in RAID 0. Otherwise you can use other types of RAID to provide redundancy (even though for data storage a separate NAS is more suitable).

Crucial's only NVMe SSD (with Crucial name on it anyway) is the P1, a QLC SSD. Not recommending those until there are 3rd party conclusions on their durability.

i really didn't know that mx500 was a sata only. i thought it was NVME with the same chip. Won't recommend it again (for nvme). thx.

@SupaKomputa my monitor budget maxes out at $500 mate. 

Do you have any problem with non gaming monitor?

There are some ultra wide on your price range. with the same 100hz.

I would prefer a ultrawide than faster fps if you're really using it as a workstation.
