Hi, so I'm going to replace my case (into meshify 2) and my psu (into corsair rmx 750) soon since they are really old. But my storage is even older, atleast 1 of them is.
Down below, you'll find the specs and the games I play/sometimes play. New storage should be comming into my new case.
As always, I'm on a budget.
Storage wise, I use 500gb of external storage. So I think I need 1-1,5 tb max. I can do it with 1 tb but then the new storage will be pushed to the limits and there needs to be space for either backups or to run more smooth. I can deïnstall a few games I don't play anymore but that's about it. If I deïnstall a few games I should come around with 1tb and lil bit of space.
Usage of storage is at this moment: 240gb for windows only, 1,5 tb.
Timings doesn't matter to me. It's nice to have fast loadingtimes but it's only luxury.
I did had problems in the past but only rarely: "Reboot and select the proper boot drive, insert boot media" eventhough when everything is attached and my win10 is installed. I then need to manually replug my SSD boot drive in order to work.
So I was thinking about a few options here:
Specs
Aerocool GT-A white (8 years old) with 1 front fan, 2 topfans and 1 backfan (soon to be fractal design meshify 2)
PSU: non modulair Corsair CX 750w (I think this one is bronze? ) (8 years) (soon to be 750w RMX corsair)
Mobo: MSI Z170 gaming a (5 years old)
CPU: Intel core I7 6700 non k with stock cooler (5 years old)
Ram: Hyperx 16gb DDR4 (5 years old)
GPU: amd XFX RX590 Fatboy 8gb (almost 3 years old) (downvolted)
SSD: Kingston 240gb (5 years old)
HDD: WD 1,5 tb (10+ years old)
Display LG 24 inch 1080p 144hz 1ms (2 years old)
Games I play
League of legends, Warframe
Games I sometimes play
Horizon Zero Dawn, Forza Horizon 4 and/or 5, Battlefield 1 and V, Shadow of the tomb raider, No man's sky, Minecraft, (new aaa games)...

So I was thinking about a few options here:
- WD Blue 1tb of HDD (for games only)+ Samsung 500gb ssd m.2 970 EVO (for windows only) (cheapest for most storage and still quality) (m.2 slot is right above my (hot) downvolted GPU..) 125€'s
- Samsung 1tb QVO ssd Sata (for games and for windows) (cheapest option) 95€'s
- Samsung 1 tb ssd m.2 970 EVO (for games and windows) (m.2 is right above (hot) downvolted gpu) 135€'s (most expensive one)
