SSD2TB Corsair Force MP
$
Okay, we might’ve gone a bit
overboard spending money on this
build. But the Force MP600 is still
our favorite PCIe 4.0 drive: reliable,
stupidly fast, and the attached heat
sink is nice and easy to remove.
When connected to a supported
motherboard and CPU, this M.
SSD reads data at almost the holy
5GB/s, and it’s actually one of the
more affordable 2TB drives with
PCIe 4.0 compatibility. The M.
format means there’s no cables to
worry about either, which is a plus
in such a cramped build. Corsair
guarantees that the MP600 will write
up to 3,600TB of data before you
ever have issues with reliability, so
it’s simply the best 4th-gen M.2 SSD
around—at least, until the looming
titan that is Samsung releases its
own competition...GPUNvidia GeForce RTX
2080 Super Founders

The professional ethos certainly applies to
our GPU, the RTX 2080 Super FE. Nvidia’s
stripped-back aesthetic looks great,
particularly the ultra-shiny mirrored
centerpiece. The most RGB you’ll get here
is the GeForce RTX text along the side of
the card, which lights up a bright green. Of
course, the Founders Edition model of this
top-notch GPU is something of a rare find
at this point, so you will probably have to
opt for a third-party manufacturer version.
That’s fine: Factory overclocked cards can
perform better than FE models, and might
come with software or aesthetic choices that
you prefer. Be wary, though, as the H1 has
very little room to mount a graphics card.
Triple-fan cards are obviously not an option,
but even some twin-fan GPUs will be too
bulky for this case. Do your research first.compact computing
