Greetings everyone! i've been researching new parts for a few weeks now, and came up with this list for my upcoming build. Mostly not sure about SSD and RAM but all comments and advices are good.
What do i want: stylish looking, effective, and silent computer build that will handle everything well above average & still be alive and running for next ~7 years with possible minor replaces. Also transition from 2 Full HD => 4K+2 Full HD in mind later next year.

My other options for consideration are:
Storage: Samsung - 960 PRO 512GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive ($299.99 @ B&H)
As i understand, PRO is MLC based, versus EVO that is TLC. How does that affect me in terms of durability? I only see that PRO version does have more speed, but i have to trade 50% of space for it as 1 TB Pro is going above my budget (yes it's high, but i'm building with as much money i can use, and can't really go up more), so does it worth it?
Memory: G.Skill - Trident Z 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3200 Memory ($321.99 @ Newegg)
First memory chosen is 3400 Mhz & 16 timings, this has 3200 Mhz & 14 timings, according to table that i found, second one is actually better, is that true?
How many more 140mm optional fans would be good to add to case? And what is difference between those fans?
SILENT WINGS 3 | 140mm
SILENT WINGS 3 | 140mm PWM
I plan to build this system around autumn, starting with everything except GPU (have msi gtx 960 6gb now, 1080ti is not required until i buy 4K?) and HDDs (i'll use my WD black 2 TB for now).
Are there any new things to be released that are worth waiting for?
