Processor i7-6700K (LGA1151)
Motherboard Asus Z170-Deluxe
GPU EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti K|NGP|N
Ram G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 (4x8) 3200 16-16-16-36
Case Corsair 780T (Black or White)
PSU Corsair AX1200i or AX1500i (possible sli later?)
OS SSD Intel 750 1.2 TB (1039), Samsung SM951 512 GB (399), or Samsung PRO 1TB (469)
Storage 2xWD Green 4TB HDD
OS Windows 10 Pro
CPU Cooler Noctua NH-D14 SE2011
Monitor Asus ROG PG278Q Swift (2560x1440) 144Hz 27In Gsync

The biggest question on my mind is which ssd, is the boot time as bad as they say on 750, is it worth the extra time for "normal workloads" would the others be better, is the pro 1tb going to keep up with the others (it is the size i want without the boot issues)
The CPU Cooler is a temporary thing, eventually I would be looking into water-cooling, but that would be around a year off, and not the NH-D15 as it is less ram compatible (without RAISING the fan into the side of the case), lastly, yes i know 1200 or 1500 is overkill
Estimated cost (case/components/shipping) before the monitor, ie. what I could buy RIGHT now:
4050

This would be coming from:
Processor i7-2600K (LGA1155)
Motherboard Asus P8P67-Deluxe
GPU EVGA GeForce GTX 580 (Custom Accelero Xtreme Plus Cooler)
Ram G.Skill Ripjaws Z 16 (4x4) 1600 7-8-8-24
Case Corsair 750D Airflow Edition (Black)
PSU Corsair CX750M
OS HD WD Velociraptor 600 GB
Storage 2xWD Green 2TB HDD
OS Windows 7 Pro (tried 10, prefer 7 on this system)
CPU Cooler Noctua NH-D14
Monitor Dell U24100 (1920x1200) 59Hz 24in
Final question, should I just wait got Skylake-e

I run a much lower specification SSD than that, a Crucial MX100 and I have about a 10 second boot, from power-on to 'password please'

Just how much faster do you want?

What are you using the system for? Other than gaming??

You CPU will almost certainly hit the Voltage wall before the Thermal wall when overclocking, so the NH 14D is likely to be plenty for any achievable overclock, liquid cooling will not be necessary IMHO.

Single SLI of that GPU can be achieved on a GOOD 850W PSU, but I would use something around 1000W, and I would not try for more (SLI x 3 or 4), unless you a rendering or using CUDA.

Max of 2 sli, but 3 power connectors for each(8pinx2, and 6 pin....per card), and room for use later, preferably running at half capacity on platinum rated supply, as for FAST 10 seconds would be golden, but I'm given to understand that nvme on the intel 750 requires 10-20 seconds in addition to normal start, to even start loading data from the drive. If it loaded windows 10 in 5 seconds YES! 10 great, 20...um? 30, ive done before on crucial ssd with sandy bridge (until a few months later when the ssd died....).
As for liquid, I want the look, and I've never done it before.

Yes, I was not addressing the 750 specifically, merely your other options to see how fast FAST is for you. My systems use Crucial and Samsung only, BX, and MX, and EVO, and they all boot in the 10 - 12 second range, although it does depend on how much auxiliary 'crud' is activated, and my drives are 500Gb (some 512) or 256Gb.

Lacking any recent hands on myself, would your opinion be that the 750 Pro, would be good for OS boot drive (15 seconds or less including POST), and able to load games quickly (no more 10 second loading screens, which compared to some of the same games on ps3/4 is still REALLY good).
I was hoping to go for the best and newest, but only if it is the best, not just because it is the "newest".
edit, considering the ips xb270hu or waiting for the asus 165 hz ips that should be coming out.

Have you seen this thread https://communities.intel.com/thread/75676?start=30&tstart=0

It looks like they have improved things, but to get the PCIe 3.0 speeds, the bus must be initialized, to boot is a bit slower than SATA, but use performance is much greater.

It looks like 15 second-ish boots, but I would want to confirm that. I don't want to pay for the crazy high speed that the Intel 750 provides, but you may.

The best answer might be a smallish (240 - 500GB), cheap, SATA boot drive chosen for fast initialization and boot, and a 'slower' very fast SSD for data?
