Awesome thanks! By the way, when I put this list into PC Part Picker it says there may be compatibility issues with the m.2? Should I be worried about that?

  • The motherboard M.2 slot #0 shares bandwidth with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports. When the M.2 slot is populated, two SATA 6Gb/s ports are disabled.

It just means that you won't be able to use all of the sata ports.  Are you planning on having like 6+ drives? If not, no worries :)

I guess we need the OP's decision now.  Do you want one massive quite good SSD, or an even faster, smaller SSD and a bulk storage drive?  Also, how much do you love that Maximus?

Your M.2 drive is PCIe X4. Don't worry about that.

Intel Core i7-6700K | Corsair H105 | Asus Z170I PRO GAMING | G.Skill TridentZ Series 16GB | 950 PRO 512GB M.2

 

Asus GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB STRIX OC | BitFenix Prodigy (Black/Red) | XFX PRO Black Edition 850W

Haha.. ya I was debating on putting in a massive ssd but It seems to get pretty expensive (May still go for it though). I think the Maximus is a sweet looking board... not sure how it runs though lol

The Maximus runs just like all other high-end boards, and you can get a similar-looking board with a similar look (Asus Z170-A) for a lot less.
