What are you currently running for cooling? Could look at overclocking your i5.
Hmmmm. No and no it would seem. Damn, maybe I should look at a new MOBO.

The cooler is just a tower air cooler.

Thanks for your post, this is exactly the kind of info I'm looking for. I assumed I was good to go with the DDR4 RAM.

I think October is the typical time for new hardware to come out which may also lower the price of existing hardware?

**EDIT**

Wait, maybe wrong about the drives. Found this on a spec sheet I found online regarding my current MOBO:

Storage Devices

SATA 6Gb/s8 x SATA 6Gb/sM.21 x M.2 Socket 3 with M KeySATA RAID0/1/5/10


Is that what you're getting at?
