https://be.pcpartpicker.com/list/8LRzzM

I've settled on this setup for my next pc, the only thing that is missing is the boot ssd, so if you guys know any good deals on PCIe m.2 ssd's (prefferably 256 to 512 ) let me know.
Appart from that any suggestions or idea's are welcome, this is my first build so any advice/ideas would be very much appriciated.

If you're just looking for fast boot times, I wouldn't bother with spending the extra money on M.2, a SATA SSD will still have incredibly fast boot times and the difference will be imperceptible. The real reason for super fast storage like that is for editing high bitrate footage and transferring lots of files, frequently.

I know, but it's just one of those 'nice to have' things, plus the S340 doesn't have the best disk cable management, so an M.2 means one less cable I have to worry about
