Putting together my first rig this week on a Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 7 mobo and am stumped on whether I should get a standard 2.5" SSD or take advantage of one of the dual PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 slots, which seems like something cutting edge and cool that I shouldn't waste. I understand that it shares one of the three PCIe slots that I could use for a third gfx card, but I will probably never miss that.
I actually haven't discovered a whole lot of comparisons between the two for real world experience (boot/shut down time, etc), but from what I have gathered, the improvements I will see in performance are completely undermined by the cost. This rig is intended for gaming and school work and will run Windows 10.
