Which one should I get?

Hey I'm upgrading to a 2x8gb ram kit today and my budget still fits for me to buy another item, what do you think I should get? My choices are:

-An A4tech Bloody Series mechanical light strike keyboard

-A 7.1 headset from Fantech 

-Deepcool Gammaxx GTE

-240gb M.2 SSD

 

Here are some notes to help you think on each:

-I have a "gaming" membrane keyboard which is still usable at the moment 

-I have a really cheap 5$ headset but I've been using Ryzen surround pro to make it sound better I guess and I'm not an Audiophile but I would like to upgrade my headset because I've been upgrading parts anyways. 

-I overclock, but it's at 3.9hz on auto voltage and idk if Ryzen 2200g really heats up that much anyways but the rgb on the GTE looks good tho 

-I can use the M.2 SSD for StoreMi 

 

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!!

You don't know? You might want to check the temps to be sure.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

I'm at around 75 at max with a 10min stress test on AIDA64 that's as much as I know... So I'm kinda safe.

Since cooling is adequate, I'd go for the SSD to improve performance.

Alright. Planning to use storemi on it since 240gb is the max supported storemi ssd storage. 

Pretty much though, would the stock wraith cooler be really reliable on maintaining that 75° max temp?

If it's the max you got after a long stress test, it's all good.

Okay, last question, my b450 board can definitely support this one, right?

As a note that looks like a SATA M.2 drive if your MB supports it getting a PCIE one would be way faster.

What do you mean? Can you give me an example? Is there a budget one like the A400?

There are two types of M.2 drives one based on SATA and one based on PCIE.  Typically motherboards can support both.  I will take a look at yours quickly.  Give me a few minutes and I will look for one.

It is a little more expensive but supports almost 10x the read write speeds and is supported by your motherboard.

I apologize, I don't find the nvme to be a viable optioon for me.

Thanks for that. But nvme is still overpriced for how little savings in seconds you get on loading screens. Hehe
