So my current plan is this, opinions (the 860 is for future expansions) and based off the note at the bottom should I get a bigger psu?

Sorry for the spam I didn’t see the second page option and just thought my page was bugged out

Samsung SSD's are overpriced. You can get better value with other brands. The WD Blue SN550 that I posted in my spec for example has double the capacity for an extra £17 or so. As for the 860 EVO a Crucial MX500 1TB is cheaper.

 

You could just go with a single 2TB NVMe SSD like the Adata SX8200 Pro though for £259.00 instead of two separate drives.

 

You still don't really need X570 although the Gigabyte Aorus Pro wifi is a good board.

 

A 650W psu is enough. No need to go any higher.

How good is the tough ram, (I’ve basically taken yours and used it but I had to change a few things such as needing wifi)
