    AM4 Questions & Suggestions?

    Hi everyone,

    So far I've bought the following:

    Phanteks Enthoo Evolv iTX Mini Tower Case
    (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

    Ballistix Sport LT 32GB Kit (16GBx2) DDR4 2400
    (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01...?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

    as well as the peripherals (Keyboard, Mouse, Mousepad) minus a screen (looking for a 144hz 1ms 1080+ screen)

    I am looking at going AMD AM4, I'm aware this isn't going to be out until Q1 so I am trying to pick up as many components as possible before Bristol Ridge and a motherboard are available in Canada - is it worth it to sludge out the money for PCIE (perhaps the samsung pro M2.0) or simply stay put with a regular SSD?

    This computer will be mainly for gaming hence the 144hz screen/1ms as well as the need for a new graphics card - RX490?

    Thanks!

    Will do - I think I'll hold out until a deal similar to amazon prime day's sandisk 960gb SSD pops up
