My youngest daughter and I just built a new machine for her. I typically buy pre-built because, while I can build them myself, I don't consider it to be worth the hassle. My daughter decided she wanted the slightly better components she could afford by purchasing them herself on the budget I allowed rather than going pre-built. We got it all put together and running over the weekend. She ended up with
motherboard with X99 chipset
Intel i7 CPU
16 GB RAM
125 GB SSD
2 TB spinning disk
GeForce GTX 970 with 4 GB RAM
650 Watt power supply
Windows 7
We didn't have any issues with the SSD although I didn't have any idea about what you mentioned so I don't know if hers is set up that way or not. Her takeaway from the experience is that next time she is buying one pre-built.
