I'm planing a new build, after plenty of looking around i have come up with a parts list i think looks good. find that here. but i have some fairly noobie questions.
 

  1. Can anyone find a way of using the m.2 slot on the board for a faster SSD then a sata drive? (for the same price ish)
  2. I'm confused about the ram here, on the bottom of this part picker page, it says something about the memory voltage being over the voltage limit? i would like to overclock if possible?
  3. General compatibility stuff, will it all work together, and have i made any stupid choices?
  4. And last, i want to overclock the CPU, GPU and RAM if possible. is this not possible for any reason? and out of all the different 980's do i have the best for overclocking?
  5. The real last one, power supply, after overclocking will i have the juice to run it?

 

Thanks in advance!  :rolleyes:

Even though those ram sticks are made for overclocking their isn't going to be a difference in performance when gaming. Everything should work together perfectly (as long as you don't get defective parts) and your PSU is just fine for your OC'ing needs.

 

P.S. I know you're new here but follow your topics.  @TheZuluWarrior

That would work best but those ram sticks are pretty cheap for what they are so I would buy them for the price they are now.
