I've been looking around at PC Components lately and there's some good deals on SSDs
The best deals I've found are
The 2TB Crucial T500, their new top performing gen. 4 drive, is $101.99 at Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Internal-Gaming-Desktop-Compatible/dp/B0CK2TC9XQ
The 4TB Nextorage gen.4 drive is down to $200 with the heatsink or $195 without at Amazon and Newegg
https://www.amazon.com/Nextorage-Expansion-Write6900MB-NEM-PA4TB-SYM/dp/B09YRMYXG7?th=1
https://www.newegg.com/nextorage-4tb-ne1n-series-m-2-2280-pcie-4-0-nvme-ssd/p/0D9-0106-00009
I typically prefer first party drives, ie. Samsung, Crucial/Micron, SK Hynix/Solidigm, Kioxia(Toshiba), WD/Sandisk, etc, but I kept seeing Nextorage and thought it was a generic drive, but turns out they were founded by Sony in collaboration with Phison, and now Phison solely owns the brand, they appear to be a good second-party? SSD manufacturer then since they're made by a controller manufacturer but using NAND and DRAM sourced from Micron.
I haven't eyeballed other components because if I really wanted a CPU and motherboard, I'd probably get a bundle deal from Microcenter, but if you see good deals, drop them in the thread.
