Might as well do a build log on this. Bought two WD SN850X 4TB M2 SSDs and snowballed into an entirely new build.
Current part list
CPU - AMD Ryzen 7800X3D
MB - ASUS ROG Strix X670E-F
RAM - CORSAIR Vengeance RGB DDR5 RAM 64GB (4x16GB) 7200Mhz (may trim this down to two sticks though)
GPU: Asus RTX 4090 Strix OC
PSU - Corsair RM1000e - cablemod cables being ordered soon.
SSD 1-2: WD SN850X 4TB
SSD 3-4: XPG Gammix S50 2TB, AData SX8200PNP 2TB
SSD 5: Micron 2.5" 2TB
Case: Hyte Y60 Black

Expect lots of parts in BST soon (5900X, AM4 ITX MB, 3080 Ti, etc) soon as I need to recoup some cost on this poor decision ;)

Edit: Part list revised. Ali Express order getting placed tomorrow for WC

Reserving post for photos20230821_142035.jpg
Parts are all finally here, mounts, fittings, etc are not in the picture but that's the bulk of it. 5 SSDs total (4xM2, 1xSATA) lol. Total SSD capacity = 14TB.

Wow…I kind of feel bad for posting the sn850x sale. I never would have guessed a drive sale would equal a new build. Can’t wait to see the progress, it sounds amazing!

Ah, I'm mostly joking on the bad financial end. I've done very well the last few years and barely spent anything on myself so it's really no big deal. It's funnier to joke about it being a money pit though.



Damn though, I just looked on Formulamod.net and Barrow WC parts are very affordable.....
Might have to price out a build and decide between a D5 vs a DDC

Seems a totally reasonable and expected sequence of events to me... 🤔

Alright gents, tentative final parts list. If you think I've missed something let me know. Reservoirs might change as I'm not sure they're compatible with the pump top (and which size I want) and I have two bracket types in case I decide to change the mounting. I'm going to try to avoid using the 90s and stick with bends, but I've added a few in case it turns out to be necessary.

Also: What your guys' thoughts on white fittings instead? There's a lot black in this build and with a black case I might go white fittings and white/black cabling to mix up the color. Or stick with black fittings and just use white fluid dye & protectant.

As always the input is appreciated.
