Multi-million dollar Cheyenne supercomputer auction ends with $480,085 bid — buyer walked away with 8,064 Intel Xeon Broadwell CPUs, 313TB DDR4-2400 ECC RAM, and some water leaks
Opinion on this soon-to-be system? Thanks!!!!

Archaic59 :
It's a great looking build. The SSD you picked is bad. Change it for Samsung 850 EVO. 
It was actually a placeholder for my Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB ATA
Couldn't find it on the list. Also have a Kingston Hyper X Cloud 9 edition.
and Thanks!!!!

Since I'm already posting here, any tips on the Motherboard and PSU?
which one do you think is the best option and why?
Things to consider:
1. Price
2. Brand's reputation on reliability/Customer Service/RMA Service
3. Differentiation features/Bios interface

The build is great.
However, pick a MLC SSD drive instead because TLC drives are all crippled. Don't try to save few bucks to use any TLC drives even from Samsung or Crucial. Here is more reference:
