NZXT Manta Mini ITX Desktop Case and Asus X99-M WS Micro ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard are not compatible  That mobo is too or doesnt have the right mounting spaces for that case!

Probably not.....maybe go with a skylake system? Would provide just as good performance

Why do you have so many ssds? Also, the pcie x1 slot might be blocked by the gpu, maybe just go with a single 1tb ssd and an m.2 ssd

Offtopic, but why is 1/2 of your build just SSD storage? IMO having super large internal storage is waste of money. If you really need it (content creator, etc.), you should rather invest into an external storage solution, I believe those to be much more useful. Or go with simpler solution, using internal HDDs. You don't have to get the most performant and loud ones like WD reds or black, especially if you care about the noise, even something like WD green will work well enough for storing infrequently accessed files and backups. Then you could keep just the 950 pro as main drive for most frequently accessed files and apps. But TBH even the much cheaper 850 evo will do an excellent job, unless you are among the most hardcore content creators.

Unless the "anything else" are files that are constantly accessed (multiple times per second), you don't need a ssd to store those. If you are gaming, spend the extra money on a better gpu. You will get actual benefit with the latter, while you won't see any significant difference with having all ssd storage. Even having 950 pro as a gamer is a waste of money, the 850 evo will perform nearly the same in load times and is 1/2 cheaper on average.
