The whole point of the build is to have crazy fast solid state storage, so the SSD is a no go. Sticking with the 6700k because reasons! I am also going with the 2666MHz RAM in a quad, because it's.. better? I am amenable to the WD Black though..!

Can't do quad with a 6700k it only supports dual channel.

I believe Z170 doesn't support Quad Channel memory, so you won't notice a difference with that.

Fuckin' there ya go! Thanks fella :)

The difference between dual channel and quad channel is so small it doesn't even matter

I've never mounted anything to m.2, but does it just stick out perpendicular to the case?

Lays flat parallel with the board. its about the size of a stick of gum. They are fantastic.

What about heat issues? Something that small must get hot compared to the 750

Correction for the average user it doesn't matter at all. Just like technically 980ti's will only bottleneck a 4x pcie3 lane in the most demanding of consumer cases those pcie3 lanes have been bottlenecks forever with specific use cases. But ya functionally not different in his case.

There is some issues with heat but if you have a graphics card above it, that is enough to cool a 950 down so it wont throttle.

They can get toasty in systems that aren't build very well and in extended tests they do throttle but thats usually have 5-10 minutes at max speed which is not something most people ever see. Oddly enough using a slot under a open cooler graphics cards works best according to some tests as the cooler sends air its way.

OP, people are recommending the 5820K for a good reason. It'll simply work better with a SLI configuration.

 

While the 4790K is not representative of the 6700K, you can see the gap between the two still has the 5820K as the winner when we factor in a 10% increase in performance. The 5820K matches the 5930K in performance when OC'd so don't worry about that.

The only thing I would argue is that the 6700k can very easily hit 4.7 or 4.8 ghz if we are overclocking anyway. IIRC the Haswell E chips were really dependent on the silicon lottery, far more anyway than skylake chips are. How easy is it to make up a 30-40% gap in power vs a stock 5820k per core?

Why can't there only be one CPU. Ever. And it is just the best, just to make life easy. See I was all set on my 6700k, then you lot got me all nervous and now you are just playing with my poor heart strings!

 

Seriously though, this is all just prelim fleshing out of the concept so I am happy to toss and turn for a bit.

No , the 950 is actually faster in many cases.

I might check on the intel 750 booting properly. The intel and samsung both run off of nvme which I heard that X99 is hit or miss with booting from them. I could be wrong but its definitely something that should be checked on.
