NEW BUILD FIRST TIME

prob dont need all the features on the mobo chose the one with best reviews  the memory kit was bc of the rgb, 2nvme mainly bc i can and i want to run them in raid 0 for boot up but perhaps i will scale it back to one. i will look into that more, power supply i will look into that also and the case i have looked at the h700i but its currently out of stock, and of the benchmarks i seen sli was a significant improvement 

The Trident Z kit you chose doesn't have RGB.

NVMe doesn't make any difference to boot times or game load times, as the CPU is the bottleneck.

While SLI can scale well, it doesn't always do it. Especially newer DX12 games often lack support.

Scratch the M.2 SSDs if you wont do things like read and write large files on and off the SSD.
