That happens to look very much like the setup I received in January. bprat22 has good advice there as usual, but he may not have noticed the Samsung 512 GB M.2 960 Pro is now the 970 PRO...even later and greater. If that's not in the budget, I'd try for the new 970 EVO. As he said, MUCH faster than the SSD 860.

If you get the recommended Corsair H100i cooler, you can save on the Thermal Management Control Board. Corsair has software called LINK you can download easily to control fan speeds and monitor temps.

All the best!
