Thought on my light streaming/ gaming build

[theminnesotanman]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XzNBpb Im willing to change around the parts a little bit. Mainly the monitor. But am open to suggestions. If its about the ssd yes i do know about the hynix drive, I want the slight performance boost of MLC over TLC.

Hmm. The 850 EVO you chose doesn't have MLC cells btw.

 

Also a single fan radiator AIO is never worth buying, unless you're doing a very small form factor build. Either go 240/280 or get a nice air cooler.

 

Otherwise the build is pretty solid.

so go with the hynix (since the info i had was wrong) and switch to the h100i v2?

There is no noticeable difference between mlc and tlc. Only major difference is longevity even then it will be years before you can wear it out with normal usage

Better and worth the difference

It has a dual 280 rad

I'm biased toward the 850 EVO as I think it's a superior drive to anything else out there, in terms of 2.5" SATA SSDs. The 850 EVO uses a very good 3D V-NAND TLC architecture which has probably 97% of the performance and durability of MLC while being nearly as cheap as actual TLC.

 

You will not notice the difference in either case honestly.

 

I second the h115i, or go with the Fractal Design S24 or NZXT Kraken X52/62 series of coolers.

i dont care about rgb so i went with the 155i. I am also a backer that the 850 is the superior drive, but i do want to try the sk hynix to see what the fuss is about (even tho its a $20 difference)
