Bioinformatics workstation build - 4x m.2s on X570 with ZFS?

This is what I’ve got as a parts list at the moment:

Plus 4x the Samsung M391A4G43MB1-CTD ECC 32Gb UDIMMS - amazon don’t stock them but I think I can get them elsewhere.

I’d appreciate a sanity check in case I’ve missed anything

I might switch to the 3600XT if the ram puts it overbudget

Thanks everyone who commented - this is a very friendly and helpful forum!

Why not go down to a normal 3600 instead of the XT?
Everything else looks good. I wouldn’t personally go for such a costly case tho.

Excellent point about the case I would like to go full tower in case I want to expand my storage and need some extra 3.5" drive bays - the Phanteks ES614PTG is ~50 EUR less. Know of any decent cheaper full tower ATX cases?

3600 is an option - just like those higher clock speeds on the XT :wink:

Actually it seems like you probably have the best case possible for the price-point in your home country.

Get a cheap 3600 now, while Zen 3 arrives?

hmm not a bad idea - I might just do that.
(Actually just moved to Germany from the UK last week for the bioinformatics job for which I’m building this system, so not my home country just yet!)
