Okay I only plan on using the SSD card for gaming and my OS and I am currently having a hard time choosing whether or not to settle for more space but with less speed or more speed with less space.

This will be my set up without the Vid card since I'm waiting on the RX 490 performance and benchmark.

CPU: i7-6700k @4.0 Ghz

Motherboard: GA-Z170X-Ultra Gaming

Solid State Drive:

Samsung 950 PRO Series - 512GB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD

or

Samsung 850 EVO 1 TB 2.5" SATA III

Hard Disk Drive: Toshiba P300 3TB

RAM: Kingston Technology HyperX Savage Black 16GB Kit (2x8GB) 2400MHz DDR4 CL12 DIMM XMP Memory

Operating system: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 High Airflow ATX Cube Case - Black

You will feel lighter and more mobile in your chair, because your wallet will be slimmer.

Zero performance gain for gaming. In fact, I'd say very slightly lower performance, because it will have extra features running by default. Sucking up a teeny bit of resources.

So windows 10 pro won't give extra benefits to gaming?
