I built my current DAW 6 years ago and I haven't had any issues with it but it's getting to the age that things will start dying and the newer M.2 NVME hard drives are so much faster than SATA Drives and SSD's. My current DAW PC has an Intel i5 4th Gen CPU and 24GB Memory.
Any recommendations or suggestions are welcome. I only use my DAW PC for Audio, Video, no gaming and no over clocking.
Here's my list so far (I'll update it as I figure out what I'm going to buy):

+ CPU Cooler Fan: All I need now is a CPU fan! How do I know what kind to get for my Intel Core i7-9700K ? I don't plan to overclock. My case says the CPU cooler can't be more than a height of 175mm = 6-7/8inches. There's so many to choose from it's confusing
