Why not?

For the simple reason of input lag, and that they are not recommended for gaming. The DPI tends to be much lower on wireless mouses than on wired ones (precision as well).

What is the pc going to be used for ? I personally wouldn't spend extra on a Samsung 950 PRO unless you were building a workstation. A regular 850 EVO is fine for a gaming pc.

I would stick with the 850 EVO.

 

If you want an air cooler then the maximum size is 150mm according to Corsair website.
