Upgrading pc for productivity

[IgorNew]

Hi i'am learning unreal engine and c++ programming.
My current system is:
I5 6600K + Hyper 212 evo
Asus Z170-a
Gtx 1070 Gigabyte windforce (2 fan version)
8Gb of ram
Antec HCG 620W
1TB Hdd + 128GB ssd

My plan as i'am still learning enreal engine and for that goal my cpu does good job (amount of rendering and other multi core work is still very low) is to first upgrade my ram, storage and cpu cooling and then cpu and motherboard afterwards.

So my question is will my motherboard support NVMe ssd like samsung evo 970 or intel 760p (500Gb models) and is it worth it?
How good is NZXT Kraken x62 for cooling (will most likely upgrade cpu to i7 8700k or maybe even x299 platform (enreal engine likes many cores but it also benefit from speed a lot)

And ofc will upgrade to 32gb ram.

Your MB will support>>>
1 x M.2 x4 Socket 3, *2, with M Key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 storage devices support (both SATA & PCIE mode)*3

Both SSDs you mentioned are 2280 type.

As far as ...is it worth it....well that's hard to answer....but it will be as fast as you can go.

As far as coolers....if you don't OC...you can probably get away with just about any decent air cooler.
