   Make sure to update the BIOS on that B650M board before installing the 8700F for optimal compatibility.

   @larsbuilds I see you chose the Seagate IronWolf NAS for storage—what kind of workload are you planning that requires such a large, non-SSD option for a gaming build?

3. @itxfan

   What kind of games or applications are you mainly targeting with this 4K setup, especially considering the choice of a large HDD for storage?

4. @kevinnl

   @itxfan I'm mainly targeting high-end gaming and storage for large media files. The HDD is mostly for archiving game files and media, while I'll use a smaller SSD for the OS and frequently played games.

   Any specific reasons for choosing the Kingston FURY Impact RAM, or just what was available? Curious about the performance expectations with this kit in a 4K gaming setup.

6. @jesse49

   @budgetbeast Any particular reason you went with the 64 GB configuration, or is that mainly for future-proofing with your media storage plans?

7. @lotte88

   Considering your focus on high-end gaming and media storage, how do you plan to manage the potential performance impact of using a large HDD for archiving game files?

8. @joris38

   How do you plan to handle backups or redundancy for the large media files stored on the 14TB HDD, especially given the mechanical risks?

9. @daan_loop

   With the 8700F and a large HDD setup, are you planning to add an SSD for the OS and frequently accessed games, or will you rely on the HDD for everything?

    @daan_loop Thanks for the question! I'm definitely planning to add an SSD for the OS and frequently accessed games; the HDD is just for archiving media and less-played games.
