Also the motherboards from Asus aren't usually that great (apart from soundcards I think if I didn't mistake it for something else)...
The HDD & SSD are really great, tho you will probably either need to keep your PC cleaner or format it once in 6-9months as it can get laggy and affect perfomance in games
And someone can for sure start comparing the processor to smth else :P
Asus is a good brand it looks fine.
SSD/HDD combination is not good that SSD is too small for a few big games. You should buy http://pcpartpicker.com/product/rrvZxr/crucial-mx300-275gb-25-solid-state-drive-ct275mx300ssd1 and get a cheaper HDD(7200rpm is not really needed if you have bigger SSD) http://pcpartpicker.com/product/MwW9TW/western-digital-internal-hard-drive-wd10ezex this will make sure you can run most things from your SSD.
And you don't need to format HDD & SSD every few months. Just use TRIM on SSD and use over-provisioning if you need 100% performance always, but with TRIM this is not really needed for consumers. And formatting a SSD (quick format) is the same as using TRIM on a whole drive. If you really want to format an SSD you need to use secure erase.
Everything else looks fine.
120gb for games is enough (unless you plan to play install games like GTA, Star Wars and some other 50Gb+ bullshit there which is a complete waste?) as he mentioned the range is €1000..
Also long-term you would be happier with the Black WD more than any other, unless ofc you don't care :P (rip the Caviar series)
A random game like Battlefield 1/3/4 is already 30GB~. If you are buying an 1060ti than I assume you want to play some real games with it. Also another reason was like Foreigner said that SSD is not the best, the MX300 is 0.25$ dollar per gigabyte, compare that to 120GB. The price/GB ratio is not good on SSD's below 240GB.
When advising parts or building an PC I always focus on quality parts with a good price/performance ratio.
Next I would not buy an 120/128GB SSD but anything above 240GB MX300 is a solid choice, or another good budget SSD if that fits better. If you have budget problems, you can replace the black HDD with a blue one.
So replace PSU with these, best are on top:
Corsair RM550x
EVGA SuperNova G2 550W (NOT G1 like you had)
Corsair Vengeance M550 550W
Corsair CX450M
The first two should last 10 years and are more efficient but more expensive. The other two are a bit less efficient but both have 5 years warranty too and should run atleast 5 years. The Vengenace is a bit better because it is using all Japanese Caps. If you buy the cheaper ones you have more than enough room for a bigger SSD like the MX300 275GB.
Foreigner his suggestions are also fine.
I would also swap out that 212 EVO for a Corsair H7. It's around the same price but performs better and is much easier to install. In addition, I've heard of some issues with that 1060 model having a lot of coil whine. If it matters to you, I'm sure you can find other models cheaper without any coil whine.
