Are you looking for a dual or single card setup? What is this for, mostly? Gaming, other?

This is a nice rig. The PSU is overpowered just in case you decide to add another card later, or now. If you have no plans for a second card you can drop that PSU down to something in the 550w range by Seasonic, XFX, EVGA or another Tier 2b or higher unit.

I do wish people would stop recommending SATA SSD's for high end builds

Please get smart and learn what an M.2 drive is

I was going to respond to that, but it just probably isn't worth it. M.2 is probably a good option, seems there's better ways to recommend a change though.

I believe this is a very good way to spend $2k on a computer

Win 8.1 is included . Add a start button using classic shell and its the best choice IMO

is why we don't recommend those yet, until they perform equal to the hype.

So its not your inability to tell the difference between a PCI-e data drive and an M.2 drive?

For some perspective on what M.2 can do try reading this article
http://www.thessdreview.com/our-reviews/asrock-z97-extr...
Its a review of an Asrock motherboard . The first board that had M.2 connectors [ I think ]
As expected the
Samsung 840 tops out at 531 MB/sec
while the best M.2 drive 1126 MB/sec

Then factor in that the M.2 drives are usually cheaper . No case . Just plug it in to the motherboard socket


And yes a PCI-e x4 or x8 drive like OCZ revodrive can be faster again but the cost is much higher too so for now M.2 is the best you can get for the money

I will look into that. Thanks.

BTW, it's really not necessary to ALWAYS be a smartass. Once in a while would do fine. Heh.
