Extreme Gaming Build Open For Suggestion

You only have so many direct to the CPU, and lower end processors have far less. So, say you have only 16 lanes direct to the socket and you're running sli. You now have, depending on the board, your gpu's running below 8x bus or your running one of them through the chipset. And, depending on the board and CPU, you might be wasting your time on m.2 because it's real speed is shackled by the chipset bus. So, if you don't have the lane configuration to support it, m.2 can be ineffective.

prolly be overkill till it gets home and built, then it be outdated in 3 months worth as new stuff would be out.

This isn't really an extreme gaming rig. I spent about $2300 and mine isn't even extreme.

I'd skip x99 unless you are going 8 core, the benefits for gaming over z97 or skylake are next to nothing at that level.

Ah, I don't buy crap boards, word.

you spent $2300 I'm getting my product close to wholesale rate prices. I'm buying my product from resellers. Yeah you know they really can dumb down buyers to get the products

I bought from wholesalers, overstock retailers, and even commercial retailers we use for work. I didn't SPEND 2300, that's what it would cost to build it. But, that doesn't really matter. I was just commenting that "Extreme" usually means top tier across the board. In x99's case, it would be something like this. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4Mx9f7
And add another 1200-1500 for custom water cooling and any additional storage and peripherals.

I think I'm going with linusTechTips info regarding extreme build.

Only reason I'm going for 6 core is because I'm getting them way cheap and can offer buyers to buy the rigs.

so there's no point me buying XYZ if the frame rate does not go up for gaming.

tech still progresses so fast you can't really future proof anything in regards to the tech itself. Consoles will keep your tech relevant for years when it comes to gaming though. If you're trying to "future-proof" any build, you're spending too much money on it.

I was looking at the Samsung 950 PRO 512GB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD and my jaw dropped has anyone seen the read and write speed on this baby O.O
Samsung says they will release a 1TB I might be waiting for that this is Over KILL

If you want fast read/write for gaming, just use a ramdisk. It will be faster than all those options.

2 512gb 850 Evo's in RAID 0 will be just about as fast as a single 950 Pro M.2 at around 70% of the price. I don't see much use for 1TB M.2 drives unless you're doing video editing or some similarly data heavy task. If you really want to go overboard, do a 256gb M.2 for the OS and a few games and 2 EVO's in RAID 0 or 1 for the rest of your storage. You'll still have lighting fast storage or still very fast storage with fault tolerance, but M.2 drives get really hot and you won't be working it so hard and using so many of your read/write cycles on the expensive drive.
