The Intel drives are ok but not the best, if within budget would go for the Samsung m2 drive.

 

[Martinr36]

if you can't stretch to the samsung M.2 then replace the intel with the PCS one, as it has better life expectancy than the intel

 

[Citrus_9]

Agree with the above - Intel M.2 is not great. PCS or Samsung is your choice. Overall, the build is nice.

 

[Gavras]

PSU upgrade to 850w would be a good move

Oh, is the PCS ssd better than the intel? Just wish I could find out what kind of ssd it is.

Hmm I would've thought that 750w would be good enough for a 5600x and a 3070 no?

750 is good enough, but the 850 gives you more room in the future and is a few quid cheaper at the moment.

Is there any differences between the RMx 850w which is £116 and the RM 850w which is £98.

The RMx is a much newer and better model, it's worth the extra cost.

The 850W RMx would be our usual go-to but it's currently out of stock so we use RM in builds we spec. It's worth sinking a bit extra into your PSU, similarly to the case, as those 2 components look after all of your other PC parts.

I know what you mean, in all 3 of the PCs at home, a power supply problem was the first that meant we had to take it to a computer shop. All 3 were prebuilts.
