Well a couple of tips.

First of all, Phanteks have released a tempered glass version of the Evolv ATX, which looks awesome so consider that one.

Secondly, look into getting a 512GB 950 Pro SSD. They are very convenient because they use the M.2 slot (which means no cables), and being NVMe drives, they are extremely fast. We're talking speeds akin to 3-4 SSDs in RAID 0. Since they use NVMe they can also sustain these speeds under high use very well.

Looks good, I agree going with a M.2 SSD would be a big improvement. 1440P @165hz (G-Sync)...that's going to be beautiful!

Thanks for the reply guys.

Maybe I should remove both SSDs and replace them with the Samsung 950 Pro 512gb for now and I can add on more SSDs in the future for storage. Because I'm thinking about getting the HTC Vive too and my budget is only about 5k USD. What do you guys think?

 

[Mr Kagouris]

Yeah that might be a good idea. 512GB would probably last you until you can get more SSD space.
