I've yet to use the MyDigitalSSD m.2 but if I were building a pc today that would be my drive of choice. It's not as good of a performer as the EVO but in the real world what are you really going to notice? I like that the MyDigitalSSD uses MLC giving it really good endurance scores and it comes with 2 more years of warranty.

And I still can't give up my optical drive. I have too many CDs to rip and I still buy CDs, plus old games I get nostalgic for every now and then.
You wont notice it in regular duty, only in file transfers. I just got a smokin deal on it and for the little price diff I said meh, why not, will look good in benchmarks and I have the file transfer overhead if needed.

As for AIO coolers, never had any issues with them (my original h100 is still running strong after 5 years) and they always keep the temps down, quieter than air and cheaper than custom loop. These cryorig coolers are incredible, compared to a custom loop you are talking a few C of difference. Hell of a value.

SLI has never ever ever ever caused me an issue, I see a lot of complaints about it but MOST of them come from people regurgitating what they have heard and they don't have first hand experience. It isn't 2001 anymore and the shit just works. Plus, the GPUs are recycled from my old PC, and I will be upgrading in the future. Could be talked into going single card in the right situation, but will have to see what happens to the market when Vega hits.

I havent used my optical drive on my old rig since 2012 when I built it and installed windows using a disc lol. i actually tested it a few days ago and it doesnt even work, who would have known LOL
