Thinking the one of the slower gen 4 nvme 2tb would suffice. This one looks cheapest. Was recommended by toms 2 years ago, maybe unreliable? Silicon Power 2TB UD90 NVMe 4.0 $92...

Great advice thanks. Going to pull the trigger on this. The final piece would be hard drive. Not sure if I'll really need the speed of the m.2 port or not. Any budgetish SSD recomendations?

If I didn't want to wait for aliexpress, what's my next best cpu choice? I hadn't considered the ram cl before, thanks.

Hi All, Looking to build a mid/budget, primarily VR machine, with some 2d gameplay as well. VR vast majority of time will be in sim racing/driving. Coming from Rift S, RTX 3070, ryzen 7 1700x 16gb in a prebuilt dell 5675. This did surprising well, but cpu seems fried, always near 100% gaming...
