Hi guys!

I am currently working on a upper-mid tier gaming PC build and trying to fine tune it for a budget around $1000 dollars (give or take a few hundred, including monitor). Would an Asus - MAXIMUS IX HERO ATX Motherboard fit with a GTX 1060 card, and can that all fit in Phanteks - Enthoo Pro ATX Full Tower Case?

Here is my complete build so far: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nbJ6Z8

If you have any suggestions or helpful critique please share them with me! I am very new to the technical side of PC hardware.

Thank you guys in advance!

Reference please.

1. We have well over a dozen 3 to to 7 years in age.... no failures.... Can't count how many user builds we've done over that time most with SSD + SSHD and only known failures among the bunch are two older 120 GB SSDs

2. According to actual documented RMA rates, they are more reliable than WD Blacks

http://www.hardware.fr/articles/954-6/disques-durs.html

0,45% WD Black WD2003FZEX
0,43% Seagate Desktop SSHD ST2000DX001

Overall by company

Seagate 0,72% (contre 0,69%)
Toshiba 0,80% (contre 1,15%)
Western 1,04% (contre 1,03%)
HGST 1,13% (contre 0,60%)

1. I feel your pain but unlike the above source, 2 drives is hardly statistically valid. My wife was in 2 accidents in 6 months .... could we use that to justify a statement that all women unreliable drivers ? When readily available statistically valid data sets are available, I think we have to give greater weight to that data. And now that ya thinking about it, men cause and are involved in way more accidents but on a "per mile" basis, men have a teeny bit less accidents than women :)

2. If their speed is dismal, compared to what ? let's look at the WD Black

http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/hdd-charts-2013/-17-PCMark-7-Gaming,2915.html

SSHD = 9.76 MB/s (54% faster)
WD Black = 6.34

Have an old P67 Asus WS Board been running about 5 years ... 1st one failed, replacement never worked .. the 3rd is doing an energizer bunny imitation.

3. We have an Samsung SSD, SSHD and, till just recently (it's been relegated to offsite storage duty and replaced with another SSHD) a HD in same box

Boot times...
SSD = 15.6
SSHD = 16.5
HD = 21.2

Interestingly enough tho ... loading large AutoCAD files and loading an HMO took the exact same time on all 3.

Our two SSD failures were 120 GB units bought I'm guessing around 2010 and 2012 .... 1st faulted < 3 years and was replaced under warranty, failed again after warranty expired, 2nd went just over 5 years. Today's obviously are much more reliable and no concerns there.


But I don't think I will be able to "reasonably" replace 32 years of personal and business records, 5 folks entire media (movies / music) and picture libraries, back up of all 9 office and personal PCs / laptops... maybe in 2 years :)
