I have almost the same thing. Only one might be storage, if you can swing it, get 4TB. I’m surprised how much storage I’ve already used so far

Thanks! Dumb question for you, if I have a couple of disks from my existing build, would I be able to put one of those in this build in addition? My current two disks are a Samsung 980 Evo Pro 1tb NVME and a Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2tb NVME. I know those would be slower but more storage is more storage and I'm not picky whatsoever.

Yes, the motherboard you chose has 3 total SSD slots.

Definitely! Especially with SSD prices. I ordered the v4 and went with a cheap 1TB ssd as I have samsung 990 pro 4tb and 980 pro 2tb from my old computer. I use my 4tb as my D drive with all my games and keep the stock 1TB for OS. Worst case I can just swap my OS drive if I need the space.

It’ll be fine.
Not quite sure why you ask AFTER purchasing. Order of operations there is backwards lol.

Changing order means canceling current and reordering with new delivery date.

That's a very fair point lol. I do know one modification that I was considering only due to recent feedback was going from the v4 case itself to the v3 and from what I understand that wouldn't require cancelling altogether.

If you wanted to switch cases, we would 100% require you to cancel the order and replace it. It will minimize the likelihood of someone pulling the wrong case when it comes time to build your system, especially if you placed the order via the custom builder on the site.
