I wanted to add a second picture to the original post but could not find a way. My apologies if it is not all right to submit a second post shortly after the first. Please let me know and I will delete this post.
Based on some of the comments, I decided to build a relatively high-end configuration. I would love to hear your thoughts on this new build.
My goal is to play video games at 144 Hz and 1440p and perform heavy photo/video editing. And 4K in the future when I upgrade my existing monitor. Also I would like to keep this build for at least 5 years if not more. In other words, I don't want to spend any more money in the next 5+ years.
Update: After much deliberation I ended up with the following build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RCNvwc
It all went great. Still waiting for the graphics card to arrive.
Thank you all for the comments!
I would upgrade to a better class of M.2 on this, look into like a solidigm 1TB they are affordable and great drives. the evos are good but for just a bit more cash you will have full NVME which should last you and be relevant for 5 to 10 years. (edit) I would say stay with the over powered PSU, it helps it run much more efficient and it will also last you a while and can be used if GFX cards keep scaling in power.
I'm trying to find out the difference between Solidigm and Samsung Evo. They both state "NVMe". Can you help me understand how they are different?
