jt0505t on [Backorder] Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD 2TB $378.60 + Delivery (Free with Prime) @ Amazon US via AUComes out to ~$305 shipped, the 970 Evo Plus is worth the extra ~$75 for TLC flash and faster controller IMO.

Kapinny on NZXT H1 Small Form-Factor ITX Case $489.30 + Delivery (Free with Prime) @ Amazon UK via AUNR200P has better airflow and is easier to build in, but takes up more space on your desk. It's also cheaper. Up to you.

metapii on Thermaltake Versa H18 Window Micro Case $59 Delivered ($49 with Code APPONLY10 if Eligible - First Time App Users) @ Amazon AUCan't speak for this case in particular, but the SF750's cables are too short for most tower cases.

125% scaling on a 4K monitor is pretty small - 150% is equivalent space to 1440p at 100%. I’d definitely use 150% on 4K 32” for the...

I used to have a 24" 1440p - set Windows display scaling to 125% and it looks pretty nice. Currently use 27" 1440p with 125% scaling. I'm a...

If you're not gaming, refresh rate shouldn't really matter. 60Hz is fine. At 27" size, I definitely wouldn't get a 1080p monitor, it's too...
