So it looks like its time to get a new computer for my home gaming ! I was gifted a brand new GTX 1080 so I wont need to have one included in the build and I will NEVER go SLI again. It will spend its life in my home office which is 72 degrees exactly year round. I was on the fence and almost Ordered a Aura last month and decided against the all in one system so I do not want that type. That being said I'm open to any other system and I'm ready to order ASAP I keep having people load the map before me in BF1 and get my vehicles !!!  Upset

1. Your Budget: 3,000 can spend few hundred more if needed.
2. Expectations: Run all games at max with my 27" 2k (2560 x 1440)
3. Usage: Gaming BF1 mostly, other than some web browsing, work email etc.
4. Special Needs: I am very interested in the M.2 1 TB 960 Pro, although I have yet to speak with anyone that has used it, so if anyone has some opinions I'm all ears

Hi Sgt. Moore...been awhile.

For gaming and your needs there's nothing to be gained going with the 6 and 8 core Broadwell-E cpus.   The Skylake 6700k with Z170 boards in the Bolt level 3 is the better pick. They have faster single core and bench faster in gaming.

Best bang for the buck, start with level 3 and make your selections.

The m.2 SSD are a lot faster than SATA based drives. The Pcie interface doesn't have the SATA restrictions.   Both are fast enough but m.2 rule.

Good luck.
