Although don't quote me on the storage, I'm not sure.

No, that motherboard has watercoolable VRMs I think. It's really overkill though. 3 minutes ago, aspas said: so any suggestions ? or is all good ? Get a cheap Z170 full-ATX board from Gigabyte or ASUS. High end gaming boards are all ripoffs, unless you want the colour scheme.
