Help creating a new build

[SmittyHasAids]

I am making a new build,
CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($439.95 @ B&H)
CPU Cooler: Corsair H110i GTX 104.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($124.99 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Asus MAXIMUS VIII HERO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($219.99 @ Amazon)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory ($89.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Samsung 850 Pro Series 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($127.77 @ OutletPC)
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 1TB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($347.65 @ OutletPC)
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Video Card ($649.99 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: EVGA 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($131.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Total: $2132.32

And i was thinking would the 256gb 850 pro for a boot drive and my most used games and a 850 evo terabyte be viable in a raid 0? Or should just get a Tb 850 pro (or similar brand/performance) any tips/recommendations helps. Storage solutions seems to be my least knowledgeable subject i'm afraid.

i'd recommend just sticking with a 1tb 850 evo and losing the pro all together. the 850 pro is just more durable (about a quarter longer lifespan) and longer warranty. its really more for business applications where you cant afford to have failure. as long as you back up theres no need for a pro. performance difference is negligible. the evo will last with its 5 yr warranty and by then you probably want the new thing anyway.

why are you considering raid 0?

Oops meant raid 1.
would you recommend an m.2 drive or no?

if this is for gaming, a standard ssd like the 850 evo is totally fine. i have a 120gb and a 500gb 850 evo. machine is lightning fast. if it is for some type of professional use i could recommend a m.2, but otherwise, not worth the money in my opinion. same thing with raid 1. could be put into a better quality part elsewhere. having games on an ssd really gives you minimal benefit other than initial load times. my operating system with programs takes around 30gb at all times. a 250gb ssd would handle a few games fine and you can install the ones you don't play often on a standard hdd which is a much more widely used, affordable option.

personally i'd lose the liquid cooler too.

you can see my build in the bottom right of my posts.

if this is for gaming, this build would be ridiculously better:
