What I'd love to see change is for you STOP open a new build thread every day. You have one EVERY day starting from the 20th on. You don't need to ask daily to see if the answer changes ok?

From looking at your previous builds I knew this was going to have an 8700K and 1080TI. Even before I clicked your link. You haven't really changed anything from the previous builds, I don't see why you think things are different now. Build it, be happy.

Thats a lot of money for no m.2 drive

If you can take it, go for it. But majority of the parts are overpriced and you can definitely get similar parts at the same specs at much lower prices.

Wayyyyyy to much ram get like 16 or 24 gb and second in my opinion I would save the money and not get rgb fans

MERGED QUESTION
Question from dunkirkman : "Which RGB fans would you recommend?"

Hey guys, so I decided to switch my nzxt kraken 62 fans as well as 1 fan located at the back of the PC to RGB. Right now as you can see I picked out nzxt's rgb.

Any recommendations on something better? Perhaps Corsair? If so, link me

Here's my setup so remember it must be compatible/proper size.

I am a big fan of the Corsair ML Pro fans. The are pretty quite and work as both air flow and static pressure. So they can really do it all. They make 140mm and 120mm, so they will fit fine. They are expensive though. The RGB versions are $99 for a twin pack. But you can get the LED versions for around $30.

Remember that twin pack also comes with the Lighting Node where the single fans normally do not so thats why its $99 for two.

These must be new but I have the HD ones from Corsair which are great looking although I have been eying the LL. However the MLs do have a better bearing tech behind them so its up to you OP to decide if you want that vs looks as I think the LLs look the best but the MLs are better for noise/performance. However it looks like the LLs do have better static pressure which would be preferable for a radiator (1.52 vs 1.27).

MERGED QUESTION
Question from dunkirkman : "Which M.2 SSD should I use for my OS?"

Hey guys what is faster, NVMe or m.2. I know some are the same but they can be different.

Here's my setup: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/MatteusLebs/saved/BLxhqs

I'm going to use that 860 for installing games but which m.2 or NVMe should I use for the OS? Please make sure it is compatible with my motherboard. Thanks guy!!

Samsung 960 or 970 EVO.
Whatever size your budget dictates.

M.2 is the connection port it can either be PCIe or SATA. NVMe is a type of SSD memory control that runs at via PCIe connection as opposed to SATA III. PCIe is faster than SATA III. However for the average user you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between the two.

Frankly any M.2 NVMe drive will be fine. Samsung are the best but not by much and you'd have an even harder time telling the difference between a Samsung EVO and a Western Digital Black m.2 NVMe.

Fresh, virgin install of windows on Sata3 ssd takes @8 seconds from boot to internet access. Same system on NVMe ssd takes @7 seconds to boot to internet. Compared to a hdd boot of @1+ minutes, the actual differences between NVMe and Sata3 become seriously moot. Smaller files will load so fast, you'd be seriously hard pressed with a stopwatch to tell the difference. It's on the larger files that things start getting more obvious, but you'd still have to know exactly how long both took to have a realistic comparison. In real life, the only viable answer is 'stupid fast' compared to a hdd. It takes in-depth benchmarks to show any results, and many of them are rated in nano/milli seconds.

Faster? Not really a question at ssd speeds, whether Sata3 or NVMe. The real question is performance vrs price. You can opt for the more expensive Samsung line which is a few % better, basically the 'bar' that everyone else strives to beat, or Crucial MX500, which is the current performance value king. Side by side, it'd be impossible for a human being to observe any differences, that takes a computer generated speed benchmark. And with today's advancements in reliability, any decent new ssd will last longer than most pc's. 10-15 years usable life on average.

So what's the best ssd? Any decent ssd that fits your budget and size requirements and plugs into wherever you need it to.
