Nice spec.

I would have the SSD as 1st drive myself. Get a 256GB one or a 512GB. Been looking at exactly the same spec myself except i would install the SSD myself as i have a spare 256GB. Not sure about an M.2 Drive as looking around the net they dont seem worth the money as of yet. How much is that setting you back?

Thanks for your reply, about hard drives it's just the way they stated them online, I still get the OS installed on the SSD AND THE SATA DRIVE is just for storage, the reason I went for the 120GB Is to install the OS and some apps, I don't need a lot OS space on the SSD AS I don't need it, I can understand that installing one big SSD without a second SATA drive, it's just mutter of choice and need.
About the price it's about £790

Intel comes with a 5 year warranty. If you are constraint with only 2 drives an m2 SSD is a good idea. I have both Intel and Kingston SSD, I can't really notice the difference in performance in day to day applications and I doubt many will unless you are running benchmarks.

Day to day and benchmarks are not the issue. Its the fact that Kingston are not the one that the majority of hard core PC enthusiast choose due to various issues

Day to day applications are the most common uses rather than synthetic benchmarks. There are various Kingston models only serious issues I have noticed online are for the v300

You will notive little or no difference between the Samsung and the Hyper X, as Keynes said it is only the V300s that have issues.
