Looking to build a new skylake gaming computer to replace the old core 2 duo I currently have. Mostly looking to game, with the occasional use of photo editting and storage. Looking to overlcock the skylake 6700k to around 4.8 ghz!

The price is about right, and I don't mind the nicer parts. Really would like some comments though and see if I'm missing anything for this build or some terrible incompatibility I have overlooked.

Thanks! I actually looked at it, and I couldn't find benchmarks to really say one way or another that any real world difference is noticed between the evo and pro versions.

TRUTH be told, i would love to get the samasung 950 pro m2 version when it comes out, but its not available yet!

QUICK EDIT: I did look at the price difference, and we're talking 50 bucks for better write speeds so... why not =)
