Any noticeable benefit in NVMe SSDs for gaming?

nope, right now for gaming you're way better served by the extra capacity of sata

nvme is a meme that overheats

That's funny since my sata MX500 runs way hotter than my 970 evo.

Nope. Not for gaming. Don't fall for it.

If only you buy some chinkshit maybe.

I want to play vidya with high quality graphics, using Windows 7 OS. I'd also like wifi. What do you think of this build? Also, how many years (estimate) do you think it'll last?

Also, should I use 2 8 GB ram or 1 16 gb, does it even matter?

I'm not entirely sure which motherboard to choose as far as ports go.

I thought SATA had less bandwidth, how does this work? I read online SSD is limited by SATA and the best way to go is use PCIe which is going to be NVMe with M.2

Have same mouse and did the DIY 'bend the metal switch' fix about a month ago (left click would stay clicked and click intermittently). I couldn't believe it when I found the pcgamingwiki video on how to do it. I'll buy new switches if and when I have to...it really is an amazing mouse. I also did a fix on the cord not long after I bought it, but it's fantastic since.

Also, you reminded me that I have to go buy new teflon pads for the bottom, I kinda wrinkled one when I fixed it. To answer your question: hopefully.
