    yeah I wanted to get more space but I ultimately chose to just upgrade from 16 to 32 GB ram finally. I have a decent amount of storage already, I’m just a blooming data hoarder so I’ve had to fanagle files around

    Windows was eating a lot of ram on my laptop even on idle, so if was planning to upgrade my ram from 16 to 32 gb, then I checked the prices and made the tactical decision to install Linux instead

    Buy decent memory, and a cheaper SSD. Since the MoBo is backwards compatible you should be able to get a PCI-E 4.0 SSD that won’t cost as much as a 5.0, and when (if) prices finally come down you can upgrade to a better one. Since a DDR4 MoBo isn’t compatible with DDR5 RAM, you’re stuck with DDR4 until you upgrade the MoBo again.
