[SOLVED] New build final parts question !!!

[Terry1978]

Hi all again 🆒 !!!
My new build part by part as folowing exept for bootable drive and second drive for storage .
Case : Lian Li 011 - XL
Motherboard: ROG GENE XI Z390
CPU : i9 9900k
CPU COOLER : KRAKEN x 72
GPU : EVGA 2070 SUPER
Ram : GSkill 3600 cas 17 trident Z 2 x 16 GB
Storage drive : SAMSUNG 860 evo 1 TB
Boot drive : ? Asus lists the NVMe samsung 970 pro 1 TB as combatible but it costs 339 to 380 euros depending where i order it from and it is to expensive for me but i also wish to have the quality and the fast loading times so i was thinking of the Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1 TB at 208 euros this one is just about afordable for me also comparing them i do not understand what the diference is the pro lives longer and is more reliable and the other is faster and has half the life of the pro version ?
What is the deal with these NVME drives pro compatible and Evo plus not so compatible with the gene xi z390 ?
I do plan on overcloking at least 4,2 or 4,6 which ever is more stable and lowest thermals
Thank you all in advance

Samsung make the 860 Evo, not Asus You might want to have the OS/boot drive be a lot more smaller like 500 GB or 256GB for the OS, app's and games. The 970 Evo and 970 Evo Pus are both the same sort of drives underneath. you're good to go with the 970 Evo Plus since they're both M.2 NVMe drives.

Thank you for the swift reply lol i have corected the mistake .
What would be beter for performance 1 drive to boot and store games or 2 drives one booting OS and one for storage like i have originaly posted i am kind of stuck here did not have these problems before building a pc nvme did not exist when i build my Z77 ROG GENE V lol what would you go fo ?
Like 500GB evo plus boot driver nvme and a 2,5 sata III SSD 860 EVO 1 TB for games and stuff ?

I would look at the 10700K processor should cost a bit less, for the M.2 drive same thing the Crucial P1 is a very good drive and you will notice no difference in speed.

I would go with a 256GB M2 (M-Key) drive (with cache) that is the fastest version of the M2 drives.
Win 10 fits stand alone on 32GB but when it runs major updates it wants 124GB of space according to Microsoft.

My wifes HP Stream came with a 32GB SSD windows 10 home pre-installed but when it wanted to run the out of the box update Microsoft made the file so large it wouldn't fit on the brand new computer. I contacted tech support who told me I had to buy a bootable USB external drive to update it and they technically could not help me unless I get another 100GB of drive space.

I did a lot of research on the drives before I built my PC. These are the drives I compared.

Motherboard: Asus ROG MAXIMUS XI GENE Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Storage: Samsung 960 EVO 250 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($119.40 @ Amazon)
Storage: Western Digital Blue SN550 250 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($54.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda Compute 256 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($59.99 @ B&H)
Storage: Samsung 970 Evo 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($99.99 @ Amazon)

I ultimately went with a 2TB Hybrid drive for now I will get an M2 drive when my budget increases.

Than you all for your time guys i will go for the evo plus 1 TB for os and put 1 or 2 games on it later on i will ad a second 1TB SSD for storage
