High end desktop platforms. You know, the 6-8 core i7s and the i9s 

 

 

And change ur gpu it is waaaaaaaaaaay to overkill.

I guess I'll have to go with I9. Hm. 

 

noooo, I've been stuck with this shitty I5-2320 GT 550 for too long! The nightmare is over!

its 10 cores and a skylake based cpus. comes for like over 1k cad.

Suppose I go two HDD through regular SATA with my M.2.. possible to connect more through PCIE expansion or no?

 

And what will the supposed error do? Completely disable? Limit bandwidth?

Reaching for the future, any thoughts on this build? Also if someone could shed some light on the supposed compatibility error that'd be awesome.

 

I plan on getting a PCIE SATA III card so I can plug in two more HDDs. Total storage devices will be 9, and should I forgo the 850 and go with another Black drive in raid 0? (Also ordering a 8TBx4 WD Red 4 bay NAS so 0 is fine)

Hmm, I don't see many games - even high end using 2 way SLI. Seems SLI is kind of phasing out? I guess? lol

 

Probably what I'll base my build off of, probably change a few things here and there but thanks for the effort & list.

Wow that blows..

 

 

And damn 7900x 2x more expensive just because I want more storage essentially lol

 

 

One would think, 8th generation would not have these problems..

No man. still the 16 pci lanes. AMD has a bit more though but eh. And well the 7900x will help you a lot in your uni too.

As listed in the op, the memory modules are not compatible with a dual fan NH-D15. I don't believe the case can handle all the hdd you want to include.

 

Consider instead the X299 platform.

 

I would suggest a single larger M.2, leaving the second for expansion. The motherboard will support both M.2 in PCIe mode as well as 7 SATA III hdd, although the seventh SATA device will kill one of the 1x expansion slots. (The other 1x slot will be disabled it the second Gigabit LAN port is enabled.)

 

The Kraken X62 rev 2 cpu cooler can run as quietly as an NH-D15 and will do a better job cooling should overclocking be pushed. Using an AIO has the advantage of not affecting memory choice.

 

Consider simplifying the storage. A single 1TB ssd instead of two, and four hdd designed to be used in RAID arrays.

Why is that?

 

G.Skill certainly thinks the kit is compatible with the motherboard. https://gskill.com/en/product/f4-3200c14q-32gtzsw

Thinking about the build I suggested, it occurs to me that a 40-lane cpu might be a better choice given the budget. Intel - Core i9-7900X 3.3GHz 10-Core Processor

Yeah, I'm going for that or 7920x since it's just a little more expensive.
