What's the best way to configure a system with the various storage devices out there?
I have at my disposal: m.2 128gb, 240gb SSD, 480gb SSD, 2Tb 7200rpm hard drive.
I was for a long time building my systems trying to use a 120gb SSD as my boot drive and load all of my software onto that SSD...
I've finally realized that it's time to get my son a new gaming PC built. He has a system with a FX 8350 cpu, 990 mobo with 16gb DDR3 and a GTX 1060 6 gb CPU. He does jump all over the gaming arena on the games he plays. But, mostly it's mmorpg games.
I have on hand:
i5 6600k (overclocked)...

I currently have an i5-6500. With the price drops on the skylakes, I was looking at upgrading to an i5 or i7 K version.
The motherboards I was looking at were:
