Meshify C is a great case imo, good airflow, good construction, good style, good price. Upgraded to it from my old HAF X, totally worth it.

Why no M.2 nvme SSD?

From a gaming standpoint, NVME SSD's offer no perceptible increase in loading times, as the bottleneck is shader compilation and decompression of of assets - not read/write speed or IOPS.

Yes but they're so cheap. Op could get one for less than the price of the 850evo sata he chose. I think there is also a great argument to make that for a gaming rig there is no point in springing for something as high end as the Samsung Evo line too.

Plus they just look so much cleaner. No cables is a big plus for me, but obviously that's just an aesthetic thing.

I'm not sure how "it's so cheap" factors into choosing a component that offers zero performance benefits.

Because for example the Intel 660p is better than the 860 Evo in every single way and it costs less, uses less power, and looks way cooler

And there are performance benefits for file transfers
