    So after 9 years(!) I found it time to replace my Asus P6T Workstation board.

    I got:
    • Asus Z270-WS motherboard
    • Intel Core i7 7700 CPU
    • Noctua NH-U12S CPU cooler
    • Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) 2666 MHz CL16 XMP 2.0 DDR4 RAM
    • Samsung 970 EVO NVMe M.2 500GB SSD drive
    • EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SC 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
    Kept my case and PSU. This should last me a good while again :)

    Nice! Have you used a SSD based computer before? I've been running SSD only for a few years now and am still regularly surprised at how fast virtually everything is, compared to an otherwise equal hard drive based system.

    Nice graphics card too!

    Yea, I had SSD's in my old rig, one of the few things I upgraded.

    I went from this to this.

    This is the difference between a 850 PRO SSD on a SATA3 interface:

    And the 970 EVO on the M.2 (NVMe)
