Ryzen 7 1800x / CrossHair VI Hero Build

I was running the AMD 9370 for the past 1-2 years prior to that was using the 8350. Have been an AMD user since my first PC build, so it was only fitting i preordered the new Ryzen. I couldnt settle for anything but the 1800x. Did alot of search on MOBOs also, and came to the decision to choose the CROSSHAIR VI HERO, its defintly a sick board. 32GB DDR4 @2666 was only fitting for this build to be. I ordered a 512GB SSD for my main OS drive, but last minute i decided i wanted even more speed and ordered an 512GB M.2 SSD which is sure to boost boot time and read/write speeds a great deal (never used one before). In terms of the case, dont need to say much. the Thermaltake Level 10GT is a great case other then my old am4 compataible liquid cooling radiator didnt fit at the top of the case and it was standard sizing (H110)...pretty stupid. So i got a H60 in the meantime...waiting for the AM4 bracket for my other corsair h105 whos raidator will fit this case

A fast M.2 drive doesn't improve boot times, much faster file transfer speeds but post and boot times will not improve
