Hiya all, I have got myself a few new upgraded bits:-
Ausus rampage 5 extreme
intel i7 6850K 3.6g broadwell-E socket LGA 2011-V3
EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 FTW
Samsung SM 961 polaris 512G M.2-2880 PCI-e SSD
cooler master V8 Version 2 cpu cooler
G.Skill 64g DDR4 3400 3400MHz memory

Now I have upgraded loads before and I am struggling with this set up, I have followed this tutorial here http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/15458-uefi-bootable-usb-flash-drive-create-windows.html and only changed one setting in the bios and that was to swapPCIEx8_4 and M.2 Configuration from Auto to M.2. But when I install windows from my DVD drive windows does not see the SSD in the setup/partition section of
the install even though the SSD and the DVD is detected in the bios. When I try the disable CSM method my comp hangs when the windows logo appears.

in my bios it see's my UEFI flash drive and my UEFI DVD writer drive, but when I try to install windows on my flash drive it hangs for a sec then just goes straight to my bios and when I try my dvd it loads windows but no devices found in the partition section of windows. Now I'm thinking as my Samsung SM 961 polaris 512G M.2 was a OEM does that need specific drivers loading like you used to do in early SATA drives installs.

many thanks
