I want to plug in the SSD, install windows on it, and use the SSD as a boot drive. Would this be alright? If possible could I remove the windows 10 on the HDD? I don't want to format all drives and re-install windows on only my SSD as I have too many important files and need this computer for...

Will this fit into a Z170A M5 Gaming motherboard? https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Optane-Memory-Module-MEMPEK1W016GAXT/dp/B06XSMTN31/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1514525980&sr=8-2&keywords=intel%2Boptane%2Bmemory&linkCode=sl1&tag=techsource02_dealsource-20&linkId=2864dbbc31518dc1a70416ae44db1a7e&th=1

I am going from an i5-6600k to an i7-7700k. I have a z170a m5 gaming motherboard, but already updated the bios to the latest. Do I have to reset my overclock settings or anything of the sorts before installing my new processor?

On all the games i've tested this on, my GTX 1070 G1 gaming (slightly overclocked) is always at 99-100% while my i5-6600k is always at 70-80%. Why is this?? Surely the gtx 1070 isn't bottle necking the i5-6600k. The i5-6600k is at 4.6ghz though. I was also planning on upgrading my cpu this...

Is it a good Idea? If so how much should I sell it for? I was thinking of selling it and getting a GTX 1080 or something instead.

Do I have to remove the drives or whatever? I am switching from a GTX 950 to a GTX 1070
