Hi guys,
I'll soon™ get a new PC, with a 6700K (hopefully provided by a colleague) housed in an Enthoo Evolv ATX and powered by an EVGA P2 650W. I'll temporarily keep my monitor and my GTX 670.
However, I'd like some advice about the mobo and the storage.
My current options for the motherboard are the Asrock Extreme 7+ and the Gigabyte Gaming 7. The Extreme7+ has one more M.2 slot (2x80mm and 1x110mm) and a more subtle look. The Gigabyte one has a better audio circuitry and costs a bit less.
Are there other good mobos with 2+ M.2 slots and good I/O and overclocking capabilites? I'd like to stay under 250-260€. Forget about the "normal" Gigabyte UD5, it looks like nonexistent in EU. I'd like to have a strong support in case of bad luck, AFAIK Gigabyte makes reliable mobos and Asrock is really good on the Intel side nowadays.
For storage I thought about 2 options: a single 1TB 850 Pro for everything (I don't use a lot of space) vs a 512GB 950 Pro+1TB hdd 2.5" (in order to use it as a backup after I make my rig ssd only).
Most of the people I asked suggested the 850... what do you think? In this case I'll obviously get a NVMe M.2 SSD as soon as I have enough money
TY in advance
