BaZurk Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Hey all I am in the middle of purchasing the needed parts for my new build. Already have an i7 5820k and looking at this motherboard. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188161&cm_re=x99-_-13-188-161-_-Product My question is two fold.. Would this M.2 SSD work in the MB i picked. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820249046and would this RAM be acceptable. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148860&cm_re=649528768445-_-20-148-860-_-Product Thank you in advance for your input!

+PeterUK MVC Posted September 8, 2014 MVC Share Posted September 8, 2014 The ram you picked is basic but will be fine if not overclocking. The M.2 slot on the EVGA X99 Micro you picked is limited to 30mm or 42mm (not sure which at this point). M.2 SSD 42mmhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=M.2+SSD+42mm&N=-1&isNodeId=1 the M.2 is not M.2 2280 to support so its for Wi-Fi. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technord Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Crucial do much better memory at a very slightly higher price I think it's called ballistix sport (black and grey) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaZurk Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 i' prefer a decently priced Mobo that I can use with this m.2 drive. can anyone recommend one?

If you really want a Micro ATX and that M.2 2280 256GB SSD there is only this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157545 or go ATX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaZurk Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 I decided to go with http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130795 and stay away from M.2 for a while and go with http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148820 instead. Decent machine?
