building a spare rig for video editing and dedicated streaming
x5650
x58 classified non usb 3.0/sata 3
12gb ram
not sure which route to go for storage, I've read m.2 ssd's like the samsung 950 pro can be used for a boot drive which would be ideal for me but it would run at 2x pcie speeds so not sure if its worth it over a sata 2 ssd, sata 3 ssd with a dedicated raid card or perhaps look for a x58 motherboard with native sata 3 support.
any ideas?
