Ok, that makes sense. I do really like the idea of getting the SM951, but you're right about the motherboards. Even the one or two with m.2 32Gb ports I saw that weren't too expensive aren't available around here.

i5 or i7 for TF2 specifically?

Am I right to assume PCI-e and m.2 SSDs haven't reached maturity yet, both in terms of the interface and value for money? Also, I haven't really kept track of trends regarding either of them(or SATA-e), but I'm also wondering which one will most likely achieve maturity first, and if it makes sense to future-proof(my upgrade cycle is roughly 2.5-3 years) with respect to motherboard+CPU for any of the three interfaces.

Holy shit. I kind of regret having bought my samsung 850 now.

I was wondering if any SSDs currently on the market benefit significantly from SATA express, as most of my rendering and file exports tend to get bottlenecked at the writing to storage stage, so having faster storage to me is a benefit.

I've always loved your posts. Thanks for the help.
Oh, and I definitely don't need ECC RAM.

For most tasks there is little difference between DDR3/DDR4. Furthermore, there is also very little difference between 1333~2400MHz on just DDR3. There are a few places where a higher frequency helps you (if you happen to be running an APU or professional programs for example), but as just a gamer you don't need that much.
Also, I'm not sure if you know this but an upgrade to DDR4 requires a new CPU and motherboard. You can't just stick a DDR4 DIMM in a DDR3 slot with a DDR3 CPU.
Yeah, I've been budgeting for that as well. I'm not too concerned with gaming, because I run my serious multiplayer games on ridiculously low settings. I've just been wondering if a RAM upgrade will help with software like After Effects, Premiere and Final Cut Pro as I know that at least AE uses massive amounts of RAM and has a pretty bad time with memory management.
Also, forgot to mention I'd ideally like to upgrade to hardware that is OS X compatible(and fairly hassle free) as I'm currently running a hackintosh both at home and at work.

yttriumddr4 has almost no current improvement for your workflow, but it's a necessary incremental upgrade for the future. As for the i7 itself, having more threads will always help with video editing and 3d rendering to a major degree.
regarding Xeon, you save money at the cost of lacking integrated graphics, which do occasionally have their uses - quick sync is neat and having an iGPU makes debugging a broken system easy if the GPU is the problem
Thanks for the advice. I am currently running pretty low speed RAM(1600mhz), so would an upgrade to DDR4 be worth it if I'm going for the 2400Mhz modules?

I've been running an i5-3450 and a B75 mobo for nearly 3 years now and have considered upgrading to an i7 with the release of Skylake. I use my computer for games, 3D renders / visual effects, very large filesize digital painting, and heavy video editing.
Is it worth buying a Skylake i7 for the DDR4 memory, and other various chipset features? Would I benefit more from buying a similarly priced Xeon?

kounterpartsBefore we get any ideas of expansion, we should get everything with the platform worked out tbh
I would agree with this. Expanding to Asia this early would not yield sufficient feedback from the players and teams, with the current state of affairs. However, if/when it does happen, Hong Kong and Singapore would be ideal server locations.

cmeoh also if you want to save money you can use a cardboard box as a case for your comouter, there are guides on how to do that
Wow, I can't believe that's actually a thing.
