Question Is this upgrade worth it?

[zadermac]

This is my current build https://nz.pcpartpicker.com/list/PWTVYN and I was wondering if two of these https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/HDDLXR13200/Lexar-NM790-2TB-M2-NVMe-Internal-SSD-PCIe-40-x-4-S would be a significant upgrade. Also I know my motherboard only supports pcie gen 3 but I do plan to upgrade in the next year or so.

You'll get more storage space do you need it?

Having more games installed would be nice maybe one would be more than enough. Which one would you
instal the os to?

If your planning on having a 1TB and a 2TB installed use the 2TB for games.

Isn't the new one faster or is the difference negligible?

Benchmark wise yes will you see a diff.....doubtful.

Is that because of gen 3 pcie or the ssd or both? Would a different ssd make a difference?

To see a diff between gen3 and gen 4 you would need to be moving big chunks of data most users don't do that.

Ok so it's more or less just storage capacity thanks for the help.
