Seems quite overpriced for a 4060 build, but then again outside of Costco this is only about $200 more than the competition...

(also OP I would not recommend UserBenchmark for anything ever. They are highly biased and use very arbitrary comparison stats to "measure" relative performance. Very bad site)

I bought this about 6 months ago and absolutely love it. You're right having the second slot for that 2nd dive is awesome! I do some light gaming, the GPU is enough to handle that but not anything crazy. This only has two ram slots, my first attempt to upgrade the RAM did not work as the motherboard is a little picky, plus I bought that RAM on discount. I went to crucial and upgraded to 64 gigs. Make sure you've applied all the vendor updates, the fix for that CPU issue that plagued the 13th and 14th gen processors is out there already. Nice post OP!

What do you see as competition with 2 M.2 SSD slots?
What do you recommend for benchmarking/comparison?

This one looks like a joke compare to the recent deal from Walmart, $999 for 7900 GRE, 32GB DDR5 RAM, 2TB SSD.

A. You're better off with a PCIe WiFi card. Functionally identical, but you don't have to worry about running antennae, and whether the board's M.2 slots are keyed correctly or not (Most boards will just have an M-key slot, whereas a WiFi card will need an E-key slot)

B. TechPowerUp, and PassMark (the guys who make Cinebench)
