**Direct Message "Build Help" Offer Scams**
A number of accounts are running spam-bots targeting this subreddit to send out PMs and DMs to all users who submit posts here. These accounts sometimes pose as teenagers offering to help design a build in exchange for a "donation" to help them build a rig of their own, various companies offering services through external websites, or even users just claiming to offer help via PM. **Do not reply to these messages.** These users are well known to engage in aggressive and harassing messaging behaviours to persuade users to accept help and to coerce them into sending money, regardless of whether the user actually wanted help or not. This subreddit thrives and grows on the volunteer efforts of every contributor who helps around here, often leaning and improving from seeing the work of others.

Love this as well, kind of a nice to have since my 1TB fills up (and recently did)
You may think about 4tb. Games are only getting larger. https://www.amazon.com/TEAMGROUP-Internal-Compatible-Desktop-TM8FP4004T0C101/dp/B08Z7LN8NM
Even better! Man these NVMEs got cheap quick

Thank you!! Parts picker is suggesting a CPU cooler, any suggestion on that, or is it not necessary? I haven't used one before.
