Hi, im planning a new build this year and just wanted to know if this will be as i expect, i have tried researching compatibility to death, however i thought that last time and didnt make great choices when i specced it on the website. This time i will be building it fully by myself.
I have had major issues choosing a Motherboard, all of the ones i looked at seem to have common, ongoing issues with either BIOS, RAM (despite being on their QVL lists) or storage devices. ASRock seem to be the best option.
I wish to run the GPU on PCIe 5.0x16. Two M.2 drives on PCIe4x4 and a SATA SSD. I want them to be running at max speeds without sharing lanes.
The Motherboard im planning on getting is: https://www.scan.co.uk/products/asr...eed_clicks&utm_content=surfaces_across_google
The RAM: https://www.gskill.com/product/165/393/1665020484/F5-6000J3238G32GX2-TZ5N
On the QVL list, this kit has an R added, this appears to just determine whether its an RGB kit or not, so that should be fine?
The Storage Drives: 2x https://www.overclockers.co.uk/wd-b...0-solid-state-drive-wds200t3x0-hd-58g-wd.html
1x https://www.samsung.com/uk/memory-storage/sata-ssd/870-evo-2tb-sata-3-2-5-ssd-mz-77e2t0b-eu/
I know a 2TB drive is overkill for just the OS and standard programmes, but from a price and availability point of view, its the most cost effective PCIe4 drive on the QVL list i think. Id rather have matching brands whether relevant or not. I couldnt find a 500GB or 1TB thats was both in stock AND on the QVL list.

Thanks for reading.
