if im not mistaken, pcie ssd vs sata ssd will be +-10sec difference in booting...m.2 will be between pcie ssd and sata ssd

Nope.

M.2 is just a connection type.

M.2 storage device comes in 2 flavors - M.2 PCIE or M.2 SATA.

M.2 SATA works exactly like SSD (SATA) while M.2 PCI-E is the fast one, like PCI-E SSD.

Looking for either i7 6700 or 6700k now... But worry about 6700k temperature...  sweat.gif
You only have to worry about 6700K (or any model) temperature when you're doing overclocking.

6700K even with stock cooler works just fine.

If buy 256GB PCIe SSD, it will be used solely for drive C. Then buy another 4TB WD blue as Drive D. And if later need faster speed for large file access, can buy another 512GB or 1TB SATA SSD.
If buy 512GB PCIe SSD, I will also buy 4TB WD as Drive D. Then when I need faster large file loading, I will put into Drive C with the 512GB PCIe SSD. But worry about the SSD life span.
I think you read a lot, super a lot until you have 101 worries. biggrin.gif

You don't have to worry about SSD lifespan. You don't have to worry about Core i7-6700K heat either.

But since he argue that from 10 second to 7 seconds means 30% improvement which well worth it, but on the flipside 3 seconds for 3x the price is...well I would rather buy something else with that money.
That's why I don't like to use % when I talk about performance comparison. biggrin.gif

10 seconds to 7 seconds is 30% indeed but in reality that's 2 blinks of an eye, 3 seconds it the amount of time one looks away from the screen and looks back. biggrin.gif Certainly not worth spending 3x more.

If so concerned about POWER ON / OFF, might as well leave the computer running 24/7. Can ignore boot time, if idle 24/7 at 40W also costs less than RM 10.

3. Less dust in the casing
Eh the dust in casing ultimately depends on casing airflow, positive vs negative.

The AIO radiator no matter how is still attached to any of the casing fan area.

Amount of dust going in still same.
