I'm shopping for a new PC for DX development.

 

What should I look for?

 

I'm planning on a i7 6700K 4core @4.2Ghz, and a GTX 1080.

 

I'm thinking of getting a 1Tb SSD drive.  i have a 500G ata drive, and am only using 2/3rds of it right now.

 

I'm also thinking about getting the on-board SSD for the OS, as well as the 1Tb SSD drive for everything else, and no ata drive. no problemo? or bad idea?

 

I assume I should get the intel overclock insurance?

 

And heat sink glue of course.

 

What about the foam filled case for shipping?

 

what about blue ray? might as well if its cheap?

 

flash card readers? other gizmos i should consider?

 

a basic i7 6700K gtx 1080 box is looking to be in the $1700 to $1900 range.

 

and what about a monitor? right now i have a 1600x900 flatscreen LCD.
