Nice, I highly recommend the SSDs!  Probably the best upgrade to a PC ever.  My job is finally starting to transition to them and peoples reactions are priceless..

Agreed, these 2 SSDs are only for storing heavy games such as new Doom! I'm so glad i got Samsung 950 Pro 256GB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD for booting up operating system.

Hell yeah, should perform nicely!  I think the OCZ is pretty close on the specs to the Samsung.  I have read they will both throttle under loads but I haven't noticed.  I use the NVMe for OS and apps, one drive for games and one drive for video storage.  I render video to the game drive and since I still have the 256gb SSD out of my laptop, I may hook it up to be my Adobe swap drive :)

My motherboard doesn't run NVMe at full speed if you have a PCI card plugged into certain slots..  I didn't notice until I checked the SSD utility a few days later and it said the drive would be faster if you plugged it into an x4 slot...  I was like wtf...  Had to move my wireless adapter to get it up to speed.  It hit 2100MB/s in synthetics after that.  Only 740 before fixing it.

Speaking of Doom, it is probably the most fun I have had in gaming for a long time.  I love it.  I know it has some issues but if you aren't playing against cheaters it is a blast!
