ok so ill just keep that PSU
It’s a strategy on Rockstars part. It’s pathetic, I know, but think about it.
-
Release game on console that everyone wants to play
-
PC-Gamers will step off their throne and jump into the console trenches just to play said game
-
Rockstar release the PC version of the game down the track
-
PC-Gamers will buy a second copy of the game and step back on top of their throne again.
Like how they triple-dipped with PS3/PS4/PS5 releases of GTA V, too.
One thing i have yet to see anyone mention is that you likely have a to small power supply. Your graphics card alone is recommended to have 750W just for that. It will likely run just fine a majority of the time, but as soon as your system tries to pull more power than you can give it then it will lock itself.
I agree with others here on the storage as well, skip the SSD, it’s better to just get a bigger M.2 NVME disc. I personally don’t see why you would want separate boot and install drives, i personally just run everything on one 2TB M.2 disc (and yes, 1TB is today sadly a little to little, a lot of newer games take 50-100GB for each game, full ultra HQ War Thunder is ~135GB for example).

It just helps to keep it from being too cluttered, allows for faster boot times, and easier maintenance. Although it stems from back when storage was just HDDs and people have just stuck to it. It’s not needed now with the performance of NVMe SSDs but it comes down to personal preference.

I have thermal wright peerless assassin se as my cpu cooler and it works great.
Just be sure to set up custom fan curves in bios
These are mine, it actually never goes above 65 degrees with a 9600x but I just have a “just in case mode” if it for some reason goes over 75 degrees
he can probably get away with sata honestly, the jump from HDD → SATA SSD is much bigger than the jump from SATA SSD → NVME, especially if sata ssd is much cheaper.
The only time I get annoyed at my sata ssd is when I am transferring large files, other than that, in day to day use, it feels identical to my nvme ssd
