There were two 512gb sata SSDs for $130 yesterday on Newegg. Pretty sweet deal

I saw those but they had pretty low read/write speeds.

Raid 0 is your friend!

I'd rather get a 500GB NVME SSD for 150.

So a Raid 0 would be double the effective speed but halving the storage and be able to lose both drives in failure?

Essentially, but you don't really want to raid unless you're dealing with a large sum of drives for a server tbh

It can be more of a hassle, and it'll actually slow your boot time down a good bit

That Alienware monitor is gorgeous. It went back up to 450

Got my EVGA stuff too. Everything else but the CPU comes in tomorrow.

I’m struggling. I bought a PSU from BH yesterday. I’m so far out though. I’m trying to be disciplined and stick to my plan with spreading out the purchases. My squad is going to be ready to go long before me.

I’ve got a mobo and PSU.
Microcenter has the i7 8700k for $299. I may be heading to BB for price match later today.

Baby steps. More like crawling.

Don't miss out on deals though man. That GPU bundle was extremely good.

What kind of cooler are you looking at for that 8700K?
