I took a bit from each of your posts and put this together. Now to answer a few of your questions I was planning on buying a GPU withing 3 months after the Vega chipsets come out, maybe a 1060 or rx480 depending on what I need. I work in the purchasing division of a company which requires me to wait for 15 - 20 minutes processing excel files on my laptop and is one of the reasons that I would like to have a desktop to speed these processes up. (Gaming is just a side-hobby which is why I don't feel it is necessary to purchase a graphics card quite yet. I went with the liquid cooler that was suggested because it was easier for me to know if it would fit than the previous NH-D15. Just worried about leaks which is why i would rather go with an air solution.

I will be buying a GPU later down the line.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WzjkHN Above is my 1st build that I am planning to complete during the month of January, but first I had some questions for more experienced builders, I wanted to know if the Noctua NH-D15 would interfere with the G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory as it is a large CPU cooler. I was also planning on waiting to buy a graphics card and I would like to play Skyrim, CIV V, and Space engineers on integrated graphics, how realistic would that be? I would appreciate it if you had any input on my build to point out flaws or possible improvements. Thanks for your time! P.S. I am also planning on buying a hard drive later.

I was planning on making final purchases during November - December holiday sales so if it releases in Oct. I will definitely look into it

I saw how fast M.2 SSDs can be, are the speeds worth the price?

It is my first Pc build and I don't have any hands-on experience with building a Pc and I wanted to join the Pc master race. I had a few points of confusion on RAID, PCI express, and the perfect monitor. Any help is welcome Here is my Pc part picker list: Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor Corsair H100i v2 70.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler Asus Z170-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard GeIL EVO POTENZA 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory 2 x Samsung 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive MSI GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Video Card Fractal Design Define R5 w/Window (Titanium) ATX Mid Tower Case EVGA 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply AOC G2460PQU 24.0" 144Hz Monitor Raid: I plan on creating a raid 0 array of 2 SSDs, is it possible to do this and use the HDD as a backup drive and bulk storage or would I have to have 2 separate HDDs for this? PCI: I noticed that the i5 6600k has a maximum of 16 PCI express slots, I wanted to install another 1070 GPU when the next gen of cards come out, I heard Linus say multiple times that it doesn't affect performance if you use the x8 slots for your GPU's, BUT, there are no ethernet cables at my desk, would my CPU allow me to use 2 graphics cards and a PCI wireless adapter? If not what options do I have to get around these problems? Monitor: I picked out the 144Hz, 1080p monitor above because it was a good bang for buck purchase, but is it suitable for my Pc? If I were to add an additional lower/higher resolution monitor would they have conflicts? Overclocking: With the stock case fans and the H100i v2, would this be enough to cool 2 GPUs if I decide to get another in the future, or should I buy aftermarket case fans if I add on the other GPU? Or are the stock case fans not enough? I would appreciate all of your opinions and help negative or not so feel free to bash me for any newbie decisions I made, I can take it.
