[WTB][US]   New Computer for Dad

EDIT: Found a computer and picked it up today thanks to Kantastic! *Smile


I'm visiting my family in Florida in the next few weeks and would love to surprise my step-Dad with a new computer. What he has right now is very old and outdated (think 64MB of DDR memory)! *Eek!

My step-Dad is a musician and I'd like to find him a computer for music recording and editing.

The specs aren't set in stone, but ideally I think I'd like to get him a computer with the following:
- Newer dual/quad core CPU
- 500GB HDD
- 4GB RAM (DDR3 if possible)
- CD/DVD Burner

This is going to be a gift so I'd like to try to keep the price down if possible.

All of his peripherals are outdated as well so if you could spare an extra keyboard, mouse, etc. that would be much appreciated but of course not required.

Let me know what you guys have, please help me help him out - he's a really good guy. *Smile

Yeah; those particular WD NVMe drives are 2 generations old. Succeeded by the SN 750 and the brand new SN 850.

I'd guess the board isn't a new model either, but didn't check.

Drive compatibility lists are rarely updated.

I'd assume any M key NVMe would work.

Okay...here is the OP's motherboard...









And here is the M.2 SSD support list...









Those two WD SSDs are the "Black" version.
