Excuse me, what? If one drive fails you lose the data on both (or more) drives. Nothing is stopping OP from getting an additional mechanical hard drive to go with the 1TB SSD. 

Any drive can fail may that be SSD or HDD, Raid is no different that's why you do backups. The OS will be on the SSD so the PC will boot even IF and WHEN the array fails.  For about the cost of 1TB SSD you can get a 256SSD + 2 HDDs double the storage with practically no performance penalty since the OS remains on the SSD

 

I have had PCs that took them 10 years for the array to start failing.

If you're going with an AIO get a Freezer II or D-RGB.   The ML is bad, or just get a d15/scythe ninja 5/drp4/etc beefy air.  I don't see you needing more than 500-550ws top with that rig.   Just get a larger storage drive for your first rig, tbh if for backup that's reliable.   x300, for example.

what is an aoi again man?

It really depends on how much research you put into the build process and the various components with their individual quirks. It really depends on a person to person basis.

since the case comes with 3 fans and the cooler comes with 2 I recommend getting one black 120mm rgb fan and you will have neutral airflow which is ideal in this kinda case.

mk, tbh I still don't know if I should go with the 10th gen unlocked i7 or the Ryzen 7 3700x

if it were me i'd go with the ryzen as is very power efficient and works really well due to its increased cache but if you're looking for pure speed the i7 is what you want

Hey guys so I decided to build a pc for the first time. I want to game and work (just basic homework), possibly editing. AMD Ryzen 7, and rtx 3060ti (or should I get 3070???) 16 gb of ram dual channel, 1000w power supply, 1tb SSD, the NZXT H510 ATX Mid Tower Case, and the Cooler MasterLiquid ML240L RGB V2 Liquid CPU Cooler. This is my first time building a pc so yah, my main questions are about the case and if the config will work. Any tips???

 

Budget (including currency): 2100

I would recommend to wait a bit if thats ok because and rtx 3070 is not currently 500 it is a lot more. Wait to build until GPU prices come back down to earth
