Gaming pc components question

This is my first build I've bought all of the components but after reading up it seems like I should change the Silicon Power S60 480GB 2.5" Solid State Drive drive to a samsung one for longevity. What do you guys think ?

Also for the graphic card, I went for Palit GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Dual Video Card but there is some many brands out and I'm wondering if I should of picked a different brand, any tips ?

Thanks for responding

The ssd will probably be fine, but maybe have a look at the samsung evo 750 500gb ssd? it's a budget ssd from samsung but still very good quality. If you're gonna use the ssd for windows, you might wanne get a 250gb one? It should save you some money.

What about the MSI gaming gtx 1070? It looks really good and is high quality. Everything else looks fine

I would make one change and maybe think about a second.

First one is to switch the Silicon Power S60 for a proper M.2 SSD, true they are a lot more expensive (for that price you could get 256Gb instead 480) but you switch from 500Mbps to 2500Mbps...

Second, if i you have no concrete reason to use a liquid cooler (bad airflow, really high overlock, narrow case, etc...) i would switch the liquid cooler for a Noctua DH-14 or something lilke that, the failure rate on liquid cooling (specially on pumps) are a loooot higher than on air and almost allaways make you replace all the cooler.

On the 1070 im using a MSI 1080 and the cooling solution (TWIN FRORZ IV or whatever) works really wonderfully.

Thanks for replying bro !!

The question about the graphic cards is that there are many modles of the 1070 for example:https://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-GeForce-GTX-1070-GAMING/dp/B01GRCYPE6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1475479807&sr=8-2&keywords=1070 and https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-GeForce-Windforce-Express-Graphics/dp/B01GXZ7Q3Y/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1475479807&sr=8-4&keywords=1070.
And I'm wondering if I should of picked a different one or better one.
