And as I look over this list, I have the lust for 32GB of RAM (of which there is no safe path yet, at least at 3200MHz, there is G.Skill Flare X Series @ 2400MHz, but Ryzen is supposed to really perform better with the faster RAM)...


I went with the 1TB SSD over the 500GB because if you hook up a SATA drive to the MB, your M.2 slot drops from x4 to x2...?


The 2TB 960 Pro SSD is just TOO expensive (around US$1.4K) to contemplate, but drool-worthy...!


And if I bumped the RAM (assuming 16GB / 3200MHz DIMMs became available), I would want to bump the CPU to the R7 1700 (keeping that 65w TDP, but gaining 2 more cores / 4 more threads)...


'Bonus' would be the LED-enabled version of the Wraith Spire CPU cooler... ;^p


Now that would DEFINITELY make a sweet gaming & streaming workstation (not the LED CPU cooler, the R7 1700 & doubled RAM capacity)...!


Now, that is only about a US$300 bump in build cost, I think it would be well worth it...!
