Question Ready to buy - stuck on case, CPU, & mobo

[jordandrs]

This is my 2nd PC build, as I didn't future-proof my last one which required me to build this one from scratch. I'm pretty close on pulling the trigger on this build, but wanted to know if there was anything that people saw that I missed that could be fixed/improved? My budget is pretty much where I am, which is ~$850

Build: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/jordandr/saved/#view=vgTzNG

#1: I'm caught between buying the Lian-Li - PC-O11 Dynamic case (my current favorite) and the Phanteks - Enthoo Pro full tower case which costs slightly less. Does anyone have experience with either case?

#2: Is there a large difference between the r5 2600x and the r5 2600? I know that the 2600x fan is better, but for someone who probably will not OC for the foreseeable future should I go ahead and buy the 2600x?

#3: Is the Asus - ROG STRIX X470-F the best motherboard I can buy under $200 for my 2600x? I screwed up badly on my last mobo purchase, so I want to make sure I get this one right.

Thanks everyone!

Edit: I already have a 3 TB HHD & a 1060 that I intend to replace later when i have more cash

That's not including the price for the 1060 and HDD. Plus, 3rd gen Ryzen LITERALLY launched yesterday. The Ryzen 5 3600 is faster and cheaper than a Ryzen 7 2700x! Also, would you be ok with an NZXT H500? It'll save on the price and I think it looks good. If you don't like the way it looks, just substitute in the Lian-Li or Phanteks case.

Note that the Lian Li case you chose is built to house massive custom loops and will have a lot of awkward looking left over space if you don't plan to build one in it.

Thank you for the feedback! I have a few questions:

1) The new 3rd gen Ryzen seems tempting, but it is a good idea to jump on a CPU that's brand new? Would I experience a lot of problems?

2) Why did you choose the Gigabyte mobo? Do you need a x570 to run with the new 3rd gen Ryzen?

3) For the SSD, I thought Samsung was the #1 SSD company? Is Crucial a reputable/reliable company for this?

Thanks!

Get the 6GB 1060 over the 3GB one, you will regret it soon with games using more than 3GB of vram already.
Also there are some great deals on atm with the 8GB rx 58- that trades blows with the 1060 6gb.

I was given the 1060 3gb for free from a friend, which was a major update from my old 960 4gb... XD

1, Little to no problems are showing so far. Only optimizations and such.

2, x570 boards are the only ones that currently come with a 3rd gen supporting bios, older boards will work too but you need to flash a supporting bios to them and you need a gen 1 or 2 cpu to do that.

3, Samsung is the #1 SSD company, their SSDs just tend to be very pricey. Crucial is a much better choice when you're on a tight budget. They're really good value for money and i doubt you'd notice a difference between a P1 and a 970 Evo on daily use unless you work with large files or have heavily modded games.
