I feel it's hard to justify this when you can get a 960 evo with 250 gb for $117 on amazon but if you really only need 120GB then I guess? Also there is no way this is worth $125 with my previous statement.
I think 960 EVO is a better bet. It costs $117.60 before tax new on Amazon right now and it comes with a 3 year warranty. I believe the performance is close to the 950 PRO. It has 6 gigs less space though.

Not really, I just do a lot of other work on mine so I went with the 500. I wouldn’t suggest anything less than this

Really they are similar but an SSD is a Solid State Drive which is much faster than a typical hard drive. In fact the 1TB hard drive that came in the Flex 5 was horribly slow and I would have returned the whole thing if I did not like the overall laptop as much as I did and do.
The SSD I added is this one
Didnt notice that. Thanks :) What about a Samsung 960 EVO Series - 250GB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD? Would this fit? And yes, I drop my storage to 4TB, it really is too much
While all SSDs are faster than HDDs, not all SSDs are created equal. If you have an NVMe m.2 slot in your mobo, I would recommend looking for an NVMe M.2 SSD as opposed to a SATA SSD. You can't go wrong either way when upgrading from an HDD, but NVMe m.2 SSDs are much faster than SATA. You can get a 250GB Samsung 960 EVO for ~$130. This will be more than enough foir your games and OS.
You can get it here: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-960-EVO-Internal-MZ-V6E250BW/dp/B01LYFKX41/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_147_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=469R12FPZHHYHMZKPPJD&dpID=41VsuUzjcjL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=detail Also, if you scroll down, there's a table that shows the speed differences. Happy SSD hunting!
Mistake is why :D
I picked the cheapest first, then added the Crucial BX300, which I actually recommend you get.
Either that, or get a much faster M2 ssd. Something like this will give you 3000MB/s reads and 1800MB/s writes.
I haven't tried booting from the USB, just did an install on the first go. I thought the OS is copied from the SSD onto the RAM on boot, so once that's complete there would be no difference going forward. Is that incorrect? On my other build I use Samsung 960 EVO Series. Maybe that is faster and explains the discrepancy. I will try to run on the live disk when I get home.
Thanks! Would something like this provide much more speeds over a 2.5 ssd, I've never used an ssd like this before. https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-960-EVO-Internal-MZ-V6E250BW/dp/B01LYFKX41/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_147_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=64CT8B94M6CMJ4H24FCC
I dont want to go over 250gb as I like having windows on the SSD and all my games on the Hard Drive. If I could get a 1tb SSD I would, but I have so many games installed I would max it out pretty quick.
Actually looks like the price went up again. I would pass.

I would go for this instead. $117.6 currently
I think it should work. that machine is identical to my VX 15. the SSD M2 you show is SATA interface (has two little openings on the connector, vs. one opening nvme as in the https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-960-EVO-Internal-MZ-V6E250BW/dp/B01LYFKX41/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1504938211&sr=1-2&keywords=m2+nvme). the Acer Aspire VX 15 has on M2 slot and the space for a 2.5 in disk for which the caddy you need to ask from Acer (at least in US). the M2 slot does not require anything special, in my ACer VX 15 accepts both SATA and the faster NVME interface.
16x the storage for less than 2x the price. not sure what your needs are though. Right now optane seems like cash grab until they figure out what to do with it.
I am in the midst of building something similar right now (as in the parts are all over my desk). I went with a Samsung M.2 SSD... It's more expensive, my Gigabyte AB350 supported it;
You want the computer to last without early upgrades, I'd recommend it.
You also won't need 750W... I bought a 700 and with all my devices (R5 1600, GeForce 1050, 3 HHD's, M.2 SSD and another SSD, 32GB's of RAM, it was only rated at like 350. IF you pile on graphics cards, you might hit 500W.
I also got a Phateks Enthoo Pro M case; I am just putting two 140mm fans in the front for cooling, with the 140mm that comes standard as the exhaust. The CPU came with the Wraith Spire Cooler and the GeForce 1050 has two fans.
Hey /u/Simpsoid, I took a look at the SSD and you are definitely right my intention was to opt for the faster drive. I believe Samsung 960 EVO Series - 250GB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD (MZ-V6E250BW) is the correct solid state drive and the one I will be going with, thank you!
EDIT: To anyone checking out this build this is the same SSD as in the original post.
16gb is the sweet spot for gaming atm. Some games are moving to a min of 8gb ram (mass effect) so itll be a while til you'll need to upgrade. Go 2x8 and you can double that down the line if you wish.
960 Evo is about $125 on amazon atm.
Either of these would be a good improvement over a hard drive, but since your MOBO is capable of an M.2 form-factor SSD, I would HIGHLY recommend finding an SSD that is M.2. It is much much smaller and much faster. If you are willing to spend just a little bit more, this would be exceptional for your system.
I've never heard of either of those brand before. Why not spend a little more on a $155 Samsung 960 Evo with a industry standard warranty and quality?
If under 200 then:
Samsung 960 Pro NVME m.2 Note that if getting this you would want an m.2 slot or a PCIe riser card with m.2 so that you can use the PCIe bus for the drive.
I don't mind in this case paying the extra money for i7 as I want to have 8 threads for running my tests. The problem for me with P50/P70 is the weight, I also want to have an ultrabook, P50/P70 weight starts at 5.6 lbs (2.5kg) and T460s is 3.0 lbs (1.4 kg)
Is this the SSD you previously mentioned? Samsung 960 EVO Series - 250GB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD (MZ-V6E250BW) December 11th, works for me! thanks!
I can confirm that the new High Sierra public beta nvme support works for booting and running a Samsung 960 EVO nvme drive in my 2015 Macbook Air. It requires a sintech adapter or clone (amazon) which are made to make the 80 mm m.2 ssd fit exactly into the original apple ssd space. Replacing the drive requires a 1.2mm penetalope screwdriver AND a T4/T5 torx. If you look around amazon you may find something that has both.
You will need to make a time machine backup to an external drive and also have room to put the high sierra installer on another usb drive to install it on the ssd.
During installation you will need to format the empty SSD to an apple readable format using disk utils, then you can install High Sierra on the drive. Transfer your information
Total cost: $155
Total time: ~8.5 Hours ( ~4 hours to make time machine backup, ~ 30 minutes to swap the drive. ~1 hour to install High Sierra, ~ 3 hours to restore from backup)
Happy Hacking!
EDIT:
I started getting kernal panics in the nvme driver today when I put the air to sleep. I will do some digging to see if there is a fix.

Same price on Amazon for those who want 2 day shipping/ Amazon credit card points. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYFKX41/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_neMHBbW72H0FJ
Just giving you a heads up that you probably won't sell that NVMe here for that price. That's what they retail for now on Amazon, and eBay has them about $78 brand new. Sadly, and thankfully, all SSD prices have dropped significantly. I actually just picked up a 1TB NVMe for $179.
EDIT: I admit I did forget the links. That's my own fault.
Recent sale for used drive, another one, and one more
Price policing only applies if you don't provide links, which I admit I did forget at first. Updated now to follow the rules.
I bought my 250 GB samsung 960 evo m.2 for 140 on amazon, i have prime but taxes here are on the high side so it might balance due to your location
You could get some M2 NVMe SSD's for faster read/write speeds if you can afford it. The mobo you are buying supports them. :)

There will probably be no difference in speed then. I'd probably just get a nvme 250gb ssd, like this.
I recommend the following ssd: Samsung 960 EVO Series - 250GB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD (MZ-V6E250BW) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYFKX41/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_har8AbYV0QBYM
This product will be an internal SSD, not external. Sorry for confusion. (Windows 10)
1) You know what... I totally already knew that (the existence of M.2 SSDs using SATA) and somehow TOTALLY just forgot/blanked, so holy crap THANK YOU! $9 extra for a cable-free option doesn't seem all that bad to me.
2) that Samsung 960 EVO - NVMe M.2 you linked to at the bottom is a great deal, and "only $12 more" sounds great. However, that's when it's being compared to the <strong>850</strong> EVO 2.5". I was originally looking at the <strong>860</strong> EVO 2.5", which (despite being the newer model) is actually about $30 cheaper. SO the real comparison to make is between the <strong>860</strong> EVO 2.5" and the <strong>960</strong> EVO - <strong>NVMe M.2</strong> which, well, there's that $40 difference that I dunno is necessary for me
EDIT - With all that in mind, ANOTHER question then arises. If I'm looking at the 860 EVO options, there IS an M.2 SATA version of that, but it's approx. $15 more than the 2.5" version. So is $15 more for no cords worth it? I thought $9 wasn't too bad. But $40 sounds troublesome.
UGGHHH. This is the part of PC building I hate. Incremental upgrade options are the effing kryptonite to my Type A personality
Definitely. Plan on getting 2 of them. Do you think 2x 250 GB are enough?

Another question: nvme SSDs are usually much faster than their SATA counterparts, so I replaced it with one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LYFKX41/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3O8MGUOH6PWUV&psc=1
Is there any reason I shouldn't?
I also swapped out the Mid tower for a Full tower by the same company -- found here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K6S1B3Q/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
I just prefer full towers to mid towers as there's more room. Is there any reason to go with a mid tower in particular?
And lastly I swapped out the DDR4-3000 RAM for some DDR4-4133 RAM for a small performance bump (for non-gaming tasks). Anything wrong with that decision?
Could I use one of these with my motherboard?
Is this one better for $20 more ??

This is basically the same price as your ssd but its an m.2 nvme drive which is even faster.
The ssd in that machine will be an M.2 drive, upgrading it won't be too bad. Something like this Samsung 250GB drive will work just fine
why not just get an nvme m.2?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYFKX41/?tag=pcpapi-20
How about this one?
Wrong. Apple's speeds are 3GB per second. This PCI SSD card is 3.2GB/s.
As per your display stastic, that site's graph has no units. What is it even graphing on "Dirt 3"? The fuck if I know. I'm going to go ahead and say anything from that site is probably bullshit. Oh, and the Dell XPS beats the mac in a lot of its statistics... lol.
But reguardless of creditability, anything is enough to suggest research. Let's see a credable source on macbook vs Dell XPS
Ouch. Little better at $650 cheaper! From a lighter weight, to a new CPU, and (according to this site's opinion) a better display. I don't care to look more into it, but in 2-4 years I might look into a used dell XPS, they look like nice computers. If the price is low enough that might become my next laptop.

I believe cryptocurrency is the greatest invention since the Internet. I believe that a well designed cryptocurrency can give us the ability to send money (be it pennies or millions of dollars) nearly instantly with a fee of a cents or sometimes even free. I believe cryptocurrency can also do way more than this, but this is the most important first step to me; if it can't do this, I don't think it can do other things very well. I hope Bitcoin Cash can be this cryptocurrency.
>Because of the whole blocksize debate and fee market madness, I ignored Bitcoin for a while and looked at other cryptocurrencies. Now that Bitcoin Cash has forked and continues to survive, I want to help it.
>I hear constant FUD about how initial sync times are destroying Bitcoin's decentralization. The common response is that most people don't need to run fully validating nodes; they are fine with SPV nodes since if they aren't mining they can't meaningfully contribute to consensus anyway. I agree with this.
>I recently read https://medium.com/@peter_r/on-the-emerging-consensus-regarding-bitcoins-block-size-limit-insights-from-my-visit-with-2348878a16d8 where Peter relays the message from BitPay and Coinbase that "we need more genetic diversity in nodes that are ready and willing to accept larger blocks."

I started yesterday evening and Bitcoin Classic is already at block 457,235 and electrumx (which I started an hour or two later) is at 394,602. Once It's synced, I'll update this post with the DNS information although it looks like electrumx has proper peer-discovery built-in.

yo I would most definitly get a samsung 960 evo M.2 ssd. It's only like 20 bucks more on amazon and 5x faster! Also you could get the 3200mhz version of the corsair vengeance for 30 bucks more. Everything else looks solid. Enjoy!
would switch ssd from sata to m.2 so no need to deal with cables and no occupying of sata ports, also its bit safer .
like 960 evo, even if going from pro line to evo. Random reads are better.

If you're going to get an M.2, I'd recommend at the least to spend the extra $30 for the performance and get the Samsung 960 EVO.
Also, the M.2 960 EVO on Amazon is cheaper than Newegg. https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-960-EVO-Internal-MZ-V6E250BW/dp/B01LYFKX41/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1506100750&sr=8-1&keywords=960+evo+250

Shouldn't be an issue then.
BTW you mentioned looking at the hyperx predator 250gb. The price I'm finding on them isn't great. You may want to consider buying a pcie to m.2 card and getting a different m.2 drive to put into it. I've seen them with dual m.2 drives as well. Just make sure it's for a pcie m.2 and not just a sata m.2.
Cheap converter for single M key M.2 and a Good M.2 drive would be $136 vs $168 for the Predator
The Samsung drives offers 3,200 MB/s read and 1,500 MB/s write speeds while the Predator only does 1400MB/s read and 600MB/s write.
You might be able to find a converter with a proper fan or heatsink to keep the SSD nice and cool. Also you may want to look into compatibility with your system and NVMe. A lot of the newer ones are NVMe and I don't know how older systems work with it. Might check for BIOS updates on your motherboard as well.
I am currently searching for an ssd to buy, and i want to know if the one i am looking at will be compatible with my motherboard. My motherboard is an msi Z77A G41, and its specs are here: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Z77A-G41.html#hero-specification
I am looking to buy this SSD: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-960-EVO-Internal-MZ-V6E250BW/dp/B01LYFKX41/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1503696532&sr=1-1&keywords=960%2Bevo%2B250%2Bgb&th=1
Debating getting a Samsung 960 EVO m.2 NVME vs a Samsung 850 EVO SATA III
The difference is about ~$20 but the performance benchmarks are hugely different. Is there this type of difference in real world use as well?
Looks good. Although, this is my board of choice for AM4: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16813157762
Also, you can upgrade to an NVMe drive for a few more bucks if you want blistering speed.
This is $30 more, at twice the size. It's also one of the best on the market.
Could go with something like the 960 evo if you want an m.2 or the 850-evo for a standard form factor.

The ssd will be much faster for general operations than another hdd, and you shouldn't have to worry about any samsung drive failing on you.
You need a case.
I just bought a Phantek, great for the price: http://www.phanteks.com
In my case's case, it had one built in exhaust fan. I put two intake fans on the front of the case to create positive airflow. Basically, more cold in, pushes more hot out the back. Chances are you will need fans. The mm or size of the fan and its placement will depend on the case.
Having just purchased the AMD Ryzen5 1600, I would recommend it. I imagine the i7 is great, but I would still recommend going AMD at the moment.
People often talk about edging out percents of power and performance, when overall the increase is not worth the extra money.
When I look at the AMD Ryzen7 1700 I see several benefits over the CPU you picked:
-Cost. You save $25 on the actual CPU. -Cost(again). The Ryzen comes with a Wraith Spire CPU Cooler. -Coes. Four more cores. -Overclocking. You can OC the AMD and get the same speed as the Intel.... with four more cores.
It looks like you're going for water-cooling, but I don't see why looking at the games you posted: it won't hurt!
A M.2 SSD by Samsung is $30 more, and faster: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-960-EVO-Internal-MZ-V6E250BW/dp/B01LYFKX41/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1497621489&sr=1-1&keywords=samsung+m.2
Your motherboard supports it, so I would recommend it!
Do you know about NVME SSDs? I would aim for that if disk access is important enough. The speed benefit is quite impressive.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJCHx7mZEKo
That video explains it well.
As far as RAM, I am still a little confused. I recently built a ryzen 1600 and put in 3200. I am yet to fully feel confident that I made the right choice.
I don't have a build complete post, but here is my motherboard and ram.
If it were me I'd save up extra money to add this SSD to the 1TB drive. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYFKX41/
I know you're on a budget, maybe this would be easier. I still prefer the samsung

Where do you see a 960 EVO costing less than an 850 Pro? Using Amazon and Newegg as references:
- 250GB/256GB. Cheapest 960 EVO is $139 USD, at Amazon. Cheapest 850 Pro is $140 USD, at Newegg.
- 500GB/512GB. Cheapest 960 EVO is $256.65 at newegg and 850 Pro is $249.99 at Amazon.
- 1TB. Cheapest 960 EVO is $502.14 from Amazon sellers. 850 Pro is $486.95 at newegg.
- 850 Pro has the only 2TB I see readily selling. $999.45 at newegg.
Seems prices raised today; I had the 960 EVO 250GB for $129.99 on newegg and I refreshed and it's now $158.something and I can't even find the $130 page in history. Some Samsung pages on Amazon that I looked at yesterday have raised in price too.
The M.2 interface reduces warranty (3 years 850 EVO vs 5 years SATA, 3 years 960 EVO despite costing as much as 850 Pro with a 10 year warranty, 5 years 960 Pro that costs approximately 120%-150% more than the 850 Pro), has less memory cells (afaik this is supposed to make it a bit harder to hold perf under load and possibly reduce endurance, but I've been told it makes no difference on endurance at one point; so leaving it out there that it may or may not), NVMe runs very hot and needs heatsinks or other heat management techniques, adding also to the cost of it.
The read/write values that matter for about 95% of all operations you would be using on a SSD is 4K QD1-4. 4K QD32 and sequential data legitimately doesn't matter for almost everything. 960 Pro with its like 3000+ sequential read and 2100+ sequential write? That's just benchmark-inflating numbers for the most part when it comes to using the drive. For the most part, you could ignore those. 960 EVO vs 850 Pro? There should be no contest with which to buy.
If you got 500GB EVOs for your games then cool, keep em, good choices. But for your OS I suggest a 256GB 850 Pro at least.
This is what the OP and I put in, they're amazing:

Your not going to get one for under $100 the crappy ones will be about $110 and I would never recommend them to anyone.
I'd go with Samsung's MZ-V6E250 960 EVO.
But what I would pick for myself would be a ADATA SU800 128GB coupled with a WD Blue WD10EZEX 1TB SATA HDD.
That Samsung SSD you're looking at, scrap it and get one of these if you can find it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYFKX41/ref=psdc_1292116011_t1_B01M4OO1FT?th=1
I found out that it is my HDD that is the limiting factor. Using my SSD for the download directory jumped my DL speed up to 120MB/s or so. But even then, my SSD takes about two minutes to unzip the downloaded movie, so I actually just purchased a Samsung 960 Evo 250GB PCIe NVMe SSD which will be my temporary/download folder so that the download can be full speed, and the unzip should take hopefully only a few seconds. I will still have it copy to my HDD, which will take about a minute, but it will be worth it to have that NVMe SSD for the download/unzip.
Some may think it doesn't save much time, but I often download entire seasons/series, and this will dramatically reduce the time it takes.
