B450-A Pro MAX instead of the B450-F, inland premium, team MP34, Pioneer SE20G or Silicon Power A80 instead of the 970 evo and a Pure power 11 instead of the CX550M. Also, you can get a 5700XT evoke for less than the card you picked.

Why??

Samsung is a well known brand, unlike those you named. Samsung will be more reliable.

First off, Samsung is ripping you off big time.

Second, if you prefer name brand, I have good experience with the 660p (it is my boot drive for a while now) and heard good things about the adata 8200pro. For both you probably can get the 1TB probably for a little more or save on the 500GB model.

 

Samsung shamelessly uses your blind following and marks the prices up.

 

Third, the named drives are all basesd around the same controller afaik, and proved to be the same performance as the Samsung. You probably won't see any more problems with them as they just rebrand some oem chips amd proved to be fast in tests.if i'm not mistaken they are based around the design which is also used in the sambrent rocket.

Didnt know Phison was unknown and unreliable. They create a ton of controllers for SSDs. I guess the Mp510 from Corsair is also unreliable then.

 

And the flash is from one of the big 3 nand creators, Hynix, micron and samsung. In which non are unreliable.

 

And these drives are usually 20-50% cheaper at the loss of essentially nothing.

All 4 of those SSDs are the same Phison E12 drives with the same warranty period as the 970 evo, performs similarly while also being specced to be more reliable.

Motherboard doesn't have RGB LEDs on it but the VRMs are much better, so more power hungry CPUs won't throttle due to overheating.
