Seems fine. Main thing is if the mobo can take 2 nvme cards and looks like it can. The PSU is almost definitely overkill, without a proper GPU he could probably get away with a 600w one. When you say home lab, I assume it's some kind of development like databases? Because running LLMs will want a GPU with huge dram, graphics will want a proper GPU, I can't think of much that doesnt.

Thanks.
Not LLMs, some business software replication setup.

"M.2 Slots

2242/2260/2280 M-key"I can't see them - I think they're under a heatsink thing, just under the CPU
Yeah, though this only shows one...

Ahh I think the other one is on the bottom right, under the chipset heatsink.

hippy
A friend's "home lab" spec. Care to comment on it?
I've not used MSI motherboards or GSkill ram and have no idea if most of the components play well together, hence asking for opinions..
