[QUOTE="TanMan, post: 313078, member: 10597"] The only ones I'd probably recommend changing out would be the HD/SSDs. Your choice of motherboard has an M.2/NVMe slot, you should take advantage of that by using an NVMe drive since the one you have there is the SATA SSD. SATA SSDs are vastly inferior and the interface is the bottleneck to taking advantage of the full potential of the SSD (IIRC, I think SATA limits at around 500MB/s, NVMe is 3500MB/s). Second is the storage drive choice; I've had a few WD Blue drives fail after a few years of use, but their performance isn't that great either. If you can swing it, go for WD Gold/Black. I've had one WD Red drive fail so far in my raid array after 5 years, but no gold/black have failed on me yet. The reason you want to go higher on the OS drive is because if you can process your work on the OS drive, your drive will not be the bottleneck of your system; you can save the files on the Data drive afterwards, when you don't need such high I/O speeds.
