Please Check My Spec

Hello again everyone!

I'd it appreciate if you could take a look at the following specifications.

With regard to the SSD Drives, I really don't play that many games (literally 3!) but I just do not get on with partitions. Would it be detrimental/adverse in some way to use the second SSD Drive as storage? To me there really wasn't much difference, in terms of price, between SSDs and some of the Hard Drives.

Also, would my Power Supply be appropriate?

If it's not a big gaming PC, then what's the actual main usage, and why the 8TB of storage?

In saying that, I don't think anyone would recommend any Intel CPU at the moment...and whilst the 12th Gen may be the most reliable of the last 4 generations, it's still 4 generations old.

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D is currently out of stock, but is expected on 14/05/2025. I can wait if that’s a better choice?

I’ve changed the SSD and added a Hard Drive. It’ll be used for gaming but I understand it might have been overkill.

This is where I'd land based on your specs. I wouldn't go anywhere near nvidia 5000 gpus, they're absolute trash tier, AMD is a far better value and stability prospect

Thank you!

I see you’ve added two SSDs, is it so bad I install everything onto one larger SSD since I’m only playing the 3 games listed?

Yes, major no-no, means you'd unecessarily lose all data / games when you have to reinstall windows. Plus will reduce performance as you'll have multiple programs queuing off the one SSD lane which leads to bottlenecks
