Don't know what to speedrun :(
I guess I could do only one SATA express port and get a cheaper motherboard. I really only will be using the SATA express for the SSD right? So one of those and two PCI x16 would be okay?
SATA Express is only for the SSD, yeah.
PCI Express can be used for plug ins that require a lot of bandwidth (e.g. graphics card, certain SSDs).
I think this is a good one. It has two SATA Express and 3x PCI Express.
EDIT:
As for memory, if you're cheap, you can get away with 8 GB. It's usually enough unless you run virtual machines or do software development.
Regardless, you should probably pick a Kingston memory as they tend to have lifetime warranty.
