With all the obvious leaks spreading around the internet, I don't there's any need for us to tell you what the GTX 1660 Ti...

Just one month ago, Gigabyte unveiled its AORUS branded B450 AORUS Pro and B450 AORUS M motherboards based on the AMD B450 chipset for the AMD 2nd Gen Ryzen CPUs.

Once known as the toy for the loaded enthusiasts, SSD nowadays has become more affordable with the introduction of the lower cost MLC and TLC NAND Flash, at the cost of lower durability compared to a SLC NAND Flash. Paired with a proper memory controller, a TLC NAND Flash SSD is able to deliver a performance close to a higher-end MLC NAND Flash SSD, at a beefy read and write speed of 500 MB/s.

Over the years of transition, mechanical keyboards have gone from the status of something only a hipster will get, to the now mainstream status that enthusiasts and gamers would be willing to burn a hole in their pocket just to get one.

When it comes to SSDs these days, you can literally be spoiled for choice. Depending on what budget you have, you can pretty much go for the "get what you pay for" route. Cheaper SSDs with the same capacity may or may not perform as good as those more premium SSDs, of course. That's why we're taking a look at the Transcend SSD230 - it's an SSD that aims to cater towards the budget-friendly market segment.
