I don't agree with getting a regular 2.5 SSD when the budget allows for an M.2?

Is it pricier? Yes, but everything will benefit from it. Even slightly quicker load speeds now and much more of a gap later on :yeshrug:

i7 will probably be the way to go if Fallout 4 is taking down i5s out there. The next Elder Scrolls game should be built on a new engine which should be much more demanding.

great monitor. ulmb is still king at high refresh rates over 120hz and up. if you do get it, make sure you get some good icc calibrated profiles as it will do wonders for the screen.
