AFAIK, those lanes can't be used for M.2 SSDs...

Don't NVMe SSDs use PCIe 3.0?

I know, I simply thought that M.2 SSDs require PCIe 3.0...

HWiNFO has also networking monitoring.

I will spend a bit of my money on it and my parents will also help get the stuff I need, I think the maximum would be 1.5k to 2k $. I play FPS games and I would like a decent graphic card. 
 
Thank you for helping me! I really appreciate it .

If only you could think of a better argument than "you have an Intel profile pic so you must be an Intel fanboy" 

I know, but there's better alternatives

Yep, you will get better performance in rendering (if you use GPU acceleration) and in gaming. At least this is what I would do

Most of my water-cooling parts will be here today. Delidding stuff tomorrow.  1080ti got here last night!! I managed to hit 2088 MHz stable on the core. Not the best but pretty good OC! Hype intensifies.

Ok, im getting that overclockable i3 and a some 560 Rads
JK

The plan is 2way CF and i will render at night, so its not a problem if its a bit slower. Then you just need a silent case

Never tried an AMD card lol. Or an AMD CPU. That don't mean i'm a Green Team Fanboy lol. 
 
It comes down to preformance to me. Not price. I go with whatever is faster better at the time. And im affaid for years its been the Green over the Red.

But im
Im waiting for VEGA and RX580 officially. It could be worth is, could be not

Yes, but the closest CPU in terms of price is the i5-7600K. And if I had to choose between an i5 and a Ryzen CPU, I would get Ryzen. It has identical performance in games and performs much better in mutithreaded workloads.

gf needs an upgrade though. Upgrading her keeps her off my machine

Hi guys, earlier this year I transferred my old build into an IN WIN 303 from a Thermaltake Core X9, due to size constraints and it's impact on desk choices. At the time I re-used my 4790k, Asus Z97 Ranger, Hyper X DDR3 Ram and added a Palit 1080 GTX Gamerock Premium, a 5" TFT screen for temp monitoring and a Crucial MX525gb SSD, before finishing it off with a Corsair K65 RGB Lux.
 
So here's the plan:
 
Today I ordered
 
Ryzen 1700
Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 5 Motherboard
16gb 3200 Trident Z RGB (CAS 16 - I aint paying + 33% for CAS 14!!)
2 Litres Mayhems Pastel Blue
A New Temporal Snow label
Blue and silver sleeving and PINs
20 x 3mm Blue LED (to replaced the Red LED's in the current Thermaltake Riing 12 fans)
 
 
Heres what it currently looks like (ish, I'm flushing the red out of the loop!)
 

 

 
 
So, as you may have guessed, I'm moving this from a red and white theme to a blue and white them. It was only ever the RoG board that had me move down this route, my preferred build colours have always been blue on white and purple + green on black.
 
The first thing I'm going to do is post some benchmark results (which has also been requested - @ericchaipc) from my rig as it currently is as basis to show against the new system once it's complete. I expect some trading blows and am not really doing this from a gaming perspective, more of a platform update perspective, aka my m.2 drive sits around 780mb/s as the boards m.2 is PCIE 2.0 x2, I will also gain USB 3.1 and 4 extra cores!!
 
So here goes 4790k @ 4.7ghz and Stock 1080 GTX (around 2050mhz on my card)
 
Firestrike
 
18129
23607 Physics - 13073 Graphics
http://www.3dmark.com/fs/12141523
 
The rest are ran @ 4.6Ghz and ram at 2.1ghz with the 1080GTX again at 2050mhz (I'm not overclocking the CPU as it is 20 hours away from selling on Ebay and I know how my luck is!!!) and are all ran at 1440P - Yes I know that the CPU's real strength is shown at 1080P, but as I own a 1440P panel, that is where my concern lays.
 
Amazing I have deleted every game I own with a benchmark utility, all except Gear of War 4 and GTA V  - so the benchies will roll in slowly through out the evening at they re-download
 
 
 
Deus EX: Mankind Divided DX11 Ultra + 2x MSAA - 42 FPS
 
 
Deus EX: Mankind Divided DX12 Ultra + 2x MSAA - 42.3 FPS
 
 
Gears of War 4 - 103.6 FPS
 
 
GTA V
 
 
 
Rise of the Tomb Raider DX11 Ultra - 94.09 FPS
 
 
Rise of the Tomb Raider DX12 Ultra - 94.96 FPS
 
 
 
The Division DX11 Ultra SMAA x1 - 90.2 FPS
 
 
The Division DX12 Ultra SMAA x1 - 88.4 FPS
 
 
 
 
 

Amazing choice. @deXxterlab97 will agree

no unfortunately, but as I said, a jump from £153 to £207 for the same speed ram on Samsung dies, ill take the hit and run 2933mhz until the bios matures - although I have seen the CAS 16 RGB's running on that board (why I bought it)

X79 motherboards are expensive AF

It doesn't have higher clock speeds! 

R5 1600 will be perfect for this and great value. Released on 11/4/17

2xE5-2670s cost $150 and they do perform like a 6950X
 

From what I know the best pick should be the 5820k because it has better overclocking potential and provides butter smooth gameplay.
@PCGuy_5960 Actually owns one and knows all about this chip from its feet to head and can probably advise you the best.

Thanks guys for your info going to get a 5820K and save around £50/80 

Oh, I was puzzled as to that. I could not find any place where it says that outright. 
Awesome, thanks!
