What do you mean exploding?

I have a GTX 1080 FTW2 and it's a monster.

If the main interest in this system is gaming, I would go with a SATA based SSD, with larger capacity, instead. Crucial MX300 or 500 are good drives for the money. Games generally do not load all that much faster between NVME and SATA ssd's. Not enough to justify the cost. You get better price/gb, and you can put more games on the larger SSD. Or if you absolutely want NVME, and 5yr warranty, western digital black NVME drives are considerably cheaper than Samsung. Samsung drives are great, I have an 850 evo in my wife's laptop, but they are bit overpriced, imo. I caught mine on sale.
