Need a new GPU. My place-holder 6600XT is not holding up in hogwarts.
Thankfully Ram is not an issue... Game could use 64GB and I wouldn't blink an eye.

Hurry up prices.

I don't think the price of current NVMe drives will change with the arrival of the 5.0 ones. Th performance jump isn't as big as the jump from 3.0 to 4.0, plus they need beefier cooling that makes them a lot more expensive.

And for me, the hardest part to choose is becoming the motherboard. I didn't know they had changed so much in the last years an dthat needing more than 4 SATA ports would be like a luxury, especially on AM5 motherboards. The lack of reviews doesn't help either, even more so if you're not going for the high end parts.

It's normal whenever we transition to a new PCI-E version, takes awhile for SSD's to really saturate the bus.. But the first lot of drives tend to run warmer.

Better drives will come later.

You can buy a PCI-E SATA card if you need more SATA ports... Not ideal, but with many PC Cases not even having a bay for an optical drive and the transition to SSD's, it's a legacy port now.
