Currently have a TUF Sabertooth R2.0 that is about 3 years old running a FX8320E @ 4.7Ghz. I have been wanting to upgrade my boot OS drive to an M.2 solution for a while but could not find a suitable target until now. My plan is as follows:
Replace TUF Sabertooth R2.0 with Sabertooth R.3.0

Then:
Temporarily retire LSI MegaRAID 9270-8i
Dump 4 x 120GB Samsung 850EVOs (RAID 0 - 3 years suicide RAID - Good going huh? :))
Dump 4 x 1TB Samsung F3s (RAID 10)

Replace SSD array with 1 x Samsung SM951 NMVe 256GB
and
Replace the HDD array with 3 x Toshiba X300 4TB (1 for Games and downloads, 1 for Photography RAW files, 1 for Backup)

I have a R9 290X which will be replaced by a RX490 when it arrives in 6 months or so.

Then it'll be time for Zen and I'll use the R3.0 and FX8320 as a storage server...
