[SOLVED] New to this

[Nagsy97]

Hey guys, I'm totally new to this and have a little guidance from some buddy's, did a little build myself and could use some help tweaking it. Would like to try and do a little streaming with this as well hopefully. Budget is around $2000-$2500CAD. Thanks!

Sorry worded that wrong, how about more storage

If 1TB of SATA SSD is really not enough, there is a 2TB MX500 which is just double the price of a 1TB.

That depends what you want

What are you looking to store?

For game loading speeds there's almost no difference between a mid-range Sata SSD and a top end NVMe SSD. Maybe a second or two, sometimes, here or there. So if it's for game storage, depending on local prices - a 2.5" SSD like a WD Blue or MX500.

If you want mass storage for, e.g. saved gameplay videos, or archived games you're not currently playing but don't want to have to re-download, a large HDD would serve well. I've had good experiences with Toshiba's N300 drives, having a 4TB and 8TB one myself. But anything reasonably priced and with a warranty will do.

To add to this, seagate seems to have trouble with very high capacity drives. I'd stick with Western Digital, Toshiba, or Hitachi.
