SSD:

Why only those 2?
There are other choices. And I absolutely wouldn't go with the ADATA.

I don't like what ADATA did bad business practice (the switch a roo on the 8200 controllers).

However they have the cheapest 2TB Gen 4 Tier one drive. The s50 lite, its like 210 right now amazing value.

These are great little drives and seem to benchmark better than the 8200 gen 3's I have used. (I have used both 8200 and s50)

MP600 is 334
S50 LIte is 210

Seems like an easy choice to save the 120 bucks.

I dont' know of any other Gen IV NVME for 210!!!!!

If your just doing home office stuff I highly doubt you will need 64gb of ram unless your running a bunch of VM's.

I do a decent amount of photo editing with Adobe products and 32GB works great.


On RAM crucial 3200 is 175 for 32gb.
teamgroup 3200 159 for 32gb

Since your not gaming I don't think I would go to 3600mhz. (save the money)

That's why I won't patronize them.

When there are multiple other options, not going to support crappy business practices.

Similarly, Kingston. They did the same thing years ago.

Hi all,

Lot of thanks for valuable advice. I just selected the RAM and NVMe SSD on Internet considering them suitable for me both in spec and price. Of course there are many available on Internet.

I'll take your advice selecting RAM of speed between 2666 and 3000 since I don't game. Regarding their size I need 64G because having VMs on the new box.

I'm still consider my selection on NVMe SSD. Thanks
