The media could not be loaded. Just finished my first PC build and couldn't be happierBuild Sheet will also be a review (same review posted on each item for simplicityCase: NZXT H5 EliteThe case has a wonderful design that is elegant and sleek the air flow is amazing considering the size. This case comes with X2 140MM RGB DUO NZXT Fans and an RGB Controller, over all 5/5 zero issues. ( This was not purchased on Amazon but as an open box at Best Buy (saved 45 bucks)PSU: Cosair 750w modularHonestly not much to say Cosair makes great products and this fits that bill!! All the wires you could possibly need for a 750w system, definitely has great vaule and looks 5/5MOBO: GIGABYTE X670EIt can be difficult these days to find a white motherboard, but the X670E definitely fits the bill. The board looks great and the built in RGB next to the panel connectors is awesome. This board has 4 NVMe slots Which is great for heavy storage of either games or other files. The GPU Pcie slot is also reinforced to help reduce some of the bigger 40 graphics cards from sagging. Definitely would recommend 5/5CPU: AMD Ryzen 7700xOverall, a great CPU not really much to say it's a 16 thread 8 core CPU that pairs very well with the 4070 T.I.Super The AM5 design ensures that support for this specific CPU will be around for a while. Some people say the CPU gets hot on under load. I have yet to see any instances of that. 5/5GPU: Aero OC 4070 Ti Super (16GB)The look and design of this GPU fits my build exactly the way I wanted it to the little R. G. B sign that's on the front of the graphics card. It's a nice touch. This is the OC Addition, which is unlocked from factory to enable overclocking, but with the 16 GB of V.Ram that's on this graphics card with it being the T.I super. overclocking is not required for games Just quite yet, maybe in the future It will but that's what I bought this so I'm semi future proof. 5/5Ram: T Force RGB DDR5 6000mhz (32GB)Again, sort of like my CPU not really much to say here. The R GB is controllable through the gigabyte control app. Once you set up your p, c, so you could set any custom color and sort of wave pattern that you like. DDR 5 is definitely the way to go nowadays. With the increase speed that you can get on larger sets of Ram. These Ram sticks have a really nice. Metal shell casing on it, which also acts as a heat dissipator which is really great because these chips can get a little hotter at the higher speeds but overall no issues and the RGB looks great 5/5CPU Cooler: Noctua DH15Not much to say here.This is the best air cool.Ed around to market the rise in 7700X CPU Runs a little hotter than most other Amd Chipsets but this cooler has zero issues keeping it under control 5/5Secondary Display: WOWNOVA 5" Computer DisplayI was entirely impressed with the design look and feel of this 5 inches display .It comes preloaded with presets that you're able to customize to your liking and you can upload your own as well!!. This is a very nice aesthetic touch inside the computer and also allows you to keep track of whatever information you're looking to keep track of as where it comes to the system functions of your pcStorage: Samsung 970 Pro (500GB) (STRICTLY FOR OS)Storage: Samsung 980 Pro (2TB) Game StorageThis is pretty self-explanatory and the NVME storage or PC i.e. Gen. 5 storage is some of the best way to store games and run operating systems from .All other storage forms are a thing that have passed.This is going to get you the max performance when it comes to storing or running your OS 2TB bought at best buyFans that came with case: X2 140MM NZXT DUO RGB X1 120MM NZXT Toliet FanThese fans came with the NZXt H5 elite.I've had 0 issues with them.Their great fans That NZXT makes a great product to keep positive airflowFans Purchased : X4 120 MM NZXT DUO RGBI purchased all 4 of these on Amazon as open boxes as these specific fans are not in stock with NZXT currently, the open box was in very good shape and the fans have been functioning with 0 issues very impressed with the open box item I received this time. The RGB on these fans are absolutely amazing. One thing I will note though is NZXTs RGB controllers only control 3 fans per controller. So for every 3 fans that you have in your case, you will need an additional controller.TOTAL COST $2348Bench MarksMW3 Max settings Consistent 160 to 180 FPS @1440PSPIDER MAN REMASTERED/ God Of War Ultra/Max Settings Consistent 130 FPS@1440p

I added this SSD to the second slot in a brand new Lenovo P15. As others have noted, the "2TB" is only 1.8Tb.For those of you who know what you're doing, this review will seem like a stupid post. This was my first time in a decade trying to upgrade any internal hardware on a computer, so I circled around for hours. It's possible there was an actual technical problem with the install, more likely it was just my lack of knowledge.For those of you who are like me, I suggest you warm up with a video on Youtube by "Cadillac Computer Center" installing an NVMe SSD on a ThinkPad E15. He does the whole thing (install of both an SSD and some RAM) from end to end, and you can see that adding a new SSD or RAM card can be very quick and simple.It is possible that the laptop recognized the SSD from the get-go, and all i would have had to do was allocate/ set up the SSD using right-click-[windows key]>disk management. I didn't know I had to do that, I was just expecting a new drive "D:" to show up under my primary SSD "C:", and when i didn't see it, i thought something had gone awry. Unfortunately, there are many other posts on the web suggesting that others have had problems getting their new SSDs to work in some laptop so you can quickly go down a rabbit hole trying to solve problems that may not exist, when all you have to do is finish some configuration step (as in my case).Before you start, go to the Lenovo site and find the web pages for your PC's serial number that give instructions on how to disable the battery, open the back panel, and swap or add the SSD. Then (not shown on the Lenovo site) you need to use the disk management interface to see if your laptop recognizes the SSD. If you don't see it there, you may need to a longer process that i found on a Lenovo self-help support post that goes something like this:De-select "fast start" (somebody recommended this, i think because Fast Start may ignore any hardware changes)Go into BIOS (ping F1 while rebooting)Change the boot sequence to push "windows" to the bottom; somebody had suggested that the Windows launch, like the "fast start", might cause the boot sequence to miss the fact that there was a new SSD on the systemWhile still in BIOS, "disable built-in battery" (find details on Lenovo website) and unplug the laptop; I think the "disable battery" helps discharge the circuits before you insert the SSDShut down the laptop (with the battery now disabled), open the back panel, add the new SSD, reboot, see if you can find it in "disk management", and configure.If the new SSD does not show up in Disk Management, you can also look at the boot sequence in BIOS, where it should show up after your C: drive. If the laptop doesn't recognize the SSD, you may not have inserted it correctly, and/or you may need to reset the laptop by pulling both the original SSD and the new M.2 SSD card out, reboot, shut down, insert the cards, reboot, and then hopefully both will be there.Then go back into disk management to set up the new SSD.I tried a lot of these steps because i didn't know what i was doing. Maybe all i had to do was stick in the new SSD card, reboot, and go to "disk management", but i didn't know about that last step and thought i had a bigger problem.Other comments:Lenovo's BIOS or UEFI (or whatever it is--as far as i can tell, old versions of BIOS had more functionality than this new UEFI ) seems very primitive and possibly less user-friendly than the BIOS's of old. I couldn't figure out how to get to a system diagnostic. I googled "BIOS diagnostic Lenovo" and found a method to reload the operating system that started in windows (i.e., while booted up, not from BIOS) that somehow got me into a BIOS-like diagnostics page to do system checks. Why is this not a click away from BIOS/UEFI? Lesson learned: Once you are in BIOS/UEFI, you have to scroll all the way down the screen to find that "save settings" feature. I think i looped around a couple of times because I hadn't saved changes in the boot sequence. It is enormously frustrating that Lenovo doesn't do a better job documenting the process from end to end (physical install through to disk configuration); I might have saved myself a few hours if i had known that i had to use the "disk management" interface to set up the SSD. It's possible the SSD was recognized right from the get-go, and i just didn't know how to verify it. Lenovo should direct you to interfaces (both in BIOS and the disk management tool) to verify whether the laptop recognizes the SSD. If you don't even know where to look to determine if the SSD is recognized, you don't know what you need to fix.
