HDDs are still good for long term data storage or activities involving frequent writes (SSDs have limited number of writes). The latest HDDs use SATA-III with specs like 7200rpm, 128MB cache and transfer speed up to 6Gbps. Any serious system should have one or two high-performance HDD, be it...

You'd better upgrade to a SSD/HDD combi. For example a 512GB SSD for system and a 1TB HDD for storage. SSD could die anytime and once it's died there is very little chance to recover the important files. A secondary HDD would be handy to store important files (or at least a copy of them).

You can buy a laptop with good screen and apply an anti-glare glass after. Pros: it also protects your screen. Cons: it's not available for all laptop models.

I suggest that you should leave the setting at @165hz, if you don't play games that use the 165Hz rate the difference in power consumption between 165Hz and 60Hz is minimal.

Newer CPU tend to run cooler. It's not worth having liquid cooling if the difference is something like 5°C.

Can you restart the PC normally after that?

Keep the 300 euros for future hardware updates (CPU, RAM, SSD...) instead.

It means that you should use a laptop charger with wattage higher than 170W. For example a 20V - 9A charger is the nearest.

Data centers already used SSD for years and yes they run 24/7, the problem is temperature. BTW you should replace them when the time comes or data will be lost.

Lower RPM also means lower data transfer speed.

Look for the Lenovo Pad Pro S870 (2022), the one with OLED screen. The newer tablets don't have OLED screen.

My reply doesn't make sense anymore because someone already recommended a 750W PSU ;)

A 650W PSU would be more suitable for that GPU.

Unless the OP has the intention to use all 1TB for Windows (what a waste), he'd better divide it to 2 partitions at the start. 512GB should be fine as his original OS disk is 240GB.

Ideally you should test with a CPU having built-in graphic and regular SSD.
