It should be. What I did the last time around was to build a machine that was a bit overpowered so far as my needs were at the time. But that machine stayed viable for a decade and handled everything I asked it to do. Prior to that build, I usually bought machines to meet whatever needs I had at the moment. That would be fine for a few years but I'd inevitably run into some program that really pushed the machine to it's limits and I'd find myself regretting cheaping out when I bought the machine. In the ten years with this last machine, that never happened.

That's pretty cool. I had no idea there were adapter to do that.
The motherboard I'm buying has slots for three m.2 drives. I'm putting a 2tb in to start. I'll probably add at least one more before too long.

That's always an issue with Mac computers. At some point the OS upgrades leave us behind. After that, we're on a timer as to how long we can update other software. I guess it's avoidable if we're satisfied with the current versions of our DAWs and can be happy not upgrading, but that's never been me.
