Hello,
I am planning a build to be used mainly for 3D CAD and simulations. The plan is to dual boot with linux and windows 8 or higher. I would like a dedicated SSD for each operating system. The plan so far....
CPU.....i5-4690K
GPU.....AMD FirePro V4900
Memory.....RipjawsX 8GB x4
Storage.....Samsung SM961 NVMe M.2 256GB x2
I was planning on a ASRock Z97 Extreme6 but read that using the M.2 slots would reduce the lanes available for the graphics card and decrease the proformance.
My questions:
1) what motherboard can accommodate these components without limiting performance?
2) if I use the 2 M.2 slots on the ASRock Z97 Extreme6 will reduce the proformance of one SSD or/and the GPU
3) can I use an PCI adapter for the SSD's to get around this problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
