ATX mobo in EATX case

[Jack_paric]

I know this question is stupid, but i wanna make sure.
So I wanna build this gaming rig:https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XYWVgL
and I am wondering if the Asus maximus ix.. mobo will fit that case with EATX standoffs layot on default. Is it possible to remowe and move standoffs to a ATX layout? If yes, please gimme some link or a tutorial of how to do it.
Thx in advance. Jack

Did you already order any of those components if not then you can get better PC for that price.

Well, I did not, but what better components for same price are you thinking of??

if you check the case specs at the manufactures site it should list all supported motherboard form factors that can be used [mitx-matx-atx-eatx .... ]

a lot of midto full tower carese are drilled for multi form factor use , but you got to check

if this is the case you got on pcpartspicker you want to use ??

if by default as you say or you just match up the holes and put the standoffs where they need to go for your ATX board and all should be good to go

You should be able to move the standoffs. If it supports up to E-ATX, it will support an ATX board no problem. (The E stands for Extended. It's a longer ATX.)

As for better parts the only thing I see you have an issue with is more expensive parts than you need. A $366 motherboard? 32GBs of ram? 750W PSU? $152 case? The CPU is good, but if you have that kind of money you should be getting a 1080 or 1080Ti GPU, and an SSD. A $150 board with 16GBs of ram, a cheaper 550W PSU and $100 case will get you the 1080(Ti) and a large SSD.

That 1000W PSU is to provide enough headroom to add second GTX1080Ti in future.

Well, I built a new cheaper PC, but most parts arent on PCPARTSPICKER, so here is a link to my local eshop list: https://www.alza.cz/nakupni-seznamy.htm?sharelist=756968696D6A627C8
I know Its in czech, but at least you see the names of these components.
Is this PC powerful enough for "Hardcore" video, audio and photo editing, rendering/ exporting, and also for ultra details 4K gaming??
Thanks in advance.
