You can go a bit higher maybe a 1050 ti i just feel 1050 will offer the least or no bottlenecking. Always depends on what you're doing of course.

Based on the info that a 960 bottlenecks ever so slightly with one

Gotcha, the 1050's quite a bit out of my budget but I'll keep it in mind. Thanks.

Zzz dude sent over the cristaldiskinfos and it's two 500GB HDDs not SSDs.

Most of the HDDs have 4k+ power-on counts and 15k+ power-on hours.

Is this still worth it?

Not bad, I'm currently running 4 drives, 3 of them have over 30k hours and are still quite healthy according to S.M.A.R.T, two are seagate barracuda's and the third is some western digital.

Though their power on count varies from 900-1300, nowhere near what those have. I don't know if that makes much of a difference but they're probably fine.
