I'm currently running windows 10 and I feel like I have enabled every option in the bios that could possibly decrease my boot times, but I'm still experiences around 30 seconds on average.

The first 15 seconds is the Asus splash screen which disappears then reappears once, the rest is usually the windows 10 logo.

I feel like my boot times should be nowhere near this long, and have seen people booting in 8 seconds or so.

Here are the specs of my computer: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/Z473Fd

And yes, I have selected the NVME drive as my first boot

Any suggestions are greatly welcomed!!!

When I first built my pc, I was getting 8 second boots on a 840 Pro. Same drive 2 days later was 15+. Only things I added were all the Win7 updates, drivers yada yada. Currently, with antivirus, updates, other assorted background apps like real temp, Virtu, Bluetooth, keyboard and mouse gaming software, adobe etc, looking at 30 second boots. Only thing I can suggest is going into settings and move the oddball, not really used stuff to delayed start, or disable altogether if you don't really use it much and can afford to wait a few extra seconds later as the app loads when you do need it.

There's also a bios timer somewhere in the bios settings to determine how long your start up/cmos opt I ns stay on screen. Default is like 5 seconds...

If not on a network, taking that search/setup out of startup is a big bonus in boot times

I've continued to test and now it's seems that the boot times are now around one minute, with the last attempt at 1:01.36!!
