i was mostly just playing. not ready to pull the trigger on any of it, i'd likely do a better video card to further future-proof it. though i'm not quite happy with the price of ddr5 right now. i'm in no rush, so i'll see if it falls some in a few months/years.
that mobo can do 3 m.2 drives, so i'd use all 3, especially now that ssd prices have fallen far enough, there's just less reason for spinning rust in a new build.
crazy to think that in 2009 i paid something near $400 for a 120gb sata ssd...
