Hello,
I work at the local Television network as a video editor, so I like to bring work home very often. I was planning on buying a new M.2 PCIe NVMe, so I could have some really fast workflow when editing, importing, exporting and rendering stuff.
But apparently my motherboard is ~4 years old (ASRock H87 Pro4, LGA1150, i7 4790k, DDR3 16GB) and it dosen't support M.2 SSD. So I thought I would just buy a new motherboard. Then I discovered that the LGA1150 is pretty much a dying breed right now. So there wouldn't be a point for me to buy a new mobo from that platform again. It would be a wiser move for me to upgrade to LGA1151 or so on.
So my question is:
1) Should I upgrade my motherboard to LGA1151 Z270 or Z370?
(I would have to buy a new CPU anyways and the new Coffee Lake i7 8700k, that just came out seems like a pretty good thing for editing and also gaming. But as I heard, the Z370 mobo isn't backwards compatible, would the Z370 platform be a dead end after a year or so, with no upgrade path in the future and what do you think, would the Z370 work with the next line of CPUs in the future?!)
2) What kind of DDR4 RAM should be used with the new Coffee Lake i7 8700k CPU? ( I was thinking about 16GB 8+8 at 3000 mhz, for example: http://www.corsair.com/en-gb/vengea...0mhz-c15-memory-kit-white-cmk16gx4m2b3000c15w )

Memory: Crucial DDR3 8GB 1600MHz (2x)

Thank you in advance!
