General thoughts on my upcoming build please :)

(I am trying to stay under $1000)

 

I have 2 SSDs selected because I don't know which one I want. Which do you guys recommend, or any alternatives about the same price point? Any ways to slim the price of this without hurting performance to much would be nice. Any input is appreciated. 

Thank you

 

Edit: also I forgot to mention, what CPU cooler should I get. I would like to stay quite on a small overclock if possible

Youll need a cpu cooler if you dont have one.

 

And get the sp550 i have it and i love it

Also thanks for the input on the SSD, I will wait for a few more responses just to see if anyone says differently

The Cryorig H7 is a great cooler and outperforms most others at it price point. Also, the BX200 is a fair amount better than the SP550.

@TheRandomness Why do you sugest teh Seagate? I notice it is cheaper but I have no clue how seagate drivess work and I know WD well. Is the baracude similar to the black?

 

@Jed M That SSD is a little more then I am wanting, thank you though

Edit: also how do you get the breakdowns from PC part picker. I haven't gotten one in years and I forget

Edit2: NVM I figured it out

a sandisk m.2 ssd is also an option to look into - if you want the ssd to play a role aesthetically, go with a sata ssd, but if you want speed, get a sandisk m.2

Black drives can get quite loud. Seagate drives are just as reliable as WD drives. Press the little [BB] button for the list.

The drive @Jed M recommended gives you 35GB more storage (covers Windows), for a mere $9 more. Why wouldn't you want it?

Also, don't get a 120GB SSD. The 240GB and up deliver better performance.

I disagree. I've seen 3 Seagate drives fail, and 0 since moving over to WD.

I disagree because only 1 out of the 5 seagate drives I've owned have failed. 1 failed because I found it in a box and it had 450k~ power on hours.

Thank you, I have noticed my Black drive is a little louder then I would like. How about performance though. I notice the warranty Is SIGNIFICANTLY less then western digital's. Do you think I should be concerned at all about that?

I think not because if treated well and you don't get a defective one, it'll run for many years to come.

I just checked and It looks like it has slightly slower read and write speeds. I suppose which drive I get will be based off my final price. Thank you for your help

My bad I was looking at the wrong product. I would rather have twice the space and half the speed in this situation. Thanks for informing me though
