Right off the bat: games aren't even X4 optimised nvm X6 and 24GB for gaming rig?

Obsolescence

A negative implication of Moore's Law is obsolescence, that is, as technologies continue to rapidly "improve", these improvements can be significant enough to rapidly obsolete predecessor technologies. In situations in which security and survivability of hardware and/or data are paramount, or in which resources are limited, rapid obsolescence can pose obstacles to smooth or continued operations.

Get a different drive for your boot drive. Right now, your storage drive would be twice as fast as you boot drive.

I wouldn't waste that much on a storage drive, I would get a better boot drive and go with 2 HDDs in RAID for storage.
