So far I've found two deals. Here's the board I'm getting: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/X99-E-10G-WS/specifications/
I need a drive to boot up my system with. It has M.2 and U.2. I think M.2 drives are cheaper since there are more of them. I need at least 512GB for the drive and I want it to be as fast as possible within this price range. To that end I've found these 2 drives...
$185.99 - Samsung PM951 512GB M.2 NVMe: http://aaawave.com/p-32029-samsung-mzvlv512hcjh-pm951-512gb-m2-ngff-pcie-gen3-x4-nvme-ssd-oem.aspx
A benchmark for the Samsung: http://www.thessdreview.com/our-reviews/samsung-sm951-m-2-pcie-ssd-review-512gb/
Note: I don't think the drive I found and the one in the benchmark are the same. The one I found says OEM and is a different model number (Technically). It lists a different read/write speed (Less) than what's observed in the benchmark.
$178.25 - Intel SSD 600p 512GB: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx
A benchmark for the Intel: http://hothardware.com/reviews/intel-ssd-600p-nvme-solid-state-drive-review
Any others I might be missing? I need to hurry up and order one.
Thanks.
