For around £15 more I would go for a 250g SSD rather than the 120g. (">
Edit: Posted the above after reading your proposed spec on page 1. Didn't notice this thread was 6 pages long and 4 weeks old so my input is probably a bit redundant... Unless of course you haven't bought the SSD yet, in which case disregard this edit to my post. (">

havent bought the SSD yet... going to go for a m.2 SSD for the operating system.
and ill also have 2 western digital red 4tb 5900rpm drives for games and media etc
so here has what has arrived recently...
Samsung 250gb SSD
Corsair h80i GT liquid cp cooler
16 gb of G.SKILL Ripjaw 3000hz ram
getting there slowly :-)
just went for a standard SSD at the moment for games, ill get a M.2 for the OS at a later date.
does it make a difference sm950 or sm951?
The H80i cooler can get quite noisy when playing game's and having fitted hundred's of them I would suggest a H110GTX if your case allows it as it has 140mm fan's and a larger radiator which run's along the top of the case which lead's to much better airflow.
just pre-ordered the last part for my gaming build....
an ASUS GTX 1080 Strix version....

It wont work, new builds never do, they'll always be some bastard part that fucks it up.
Memory, CPU and M.2 drive installed
