love the second configuration a lot. as for seagate's externals one i have a 2tb usb 3.1 and i have never had a issue with it. i was extremely leery since in the past seagate hdd's tended to run hot, so i always bought western digital. i don't remember the specific model name but it's only about the size of a ssd.

forget the asrock mobo. roommate has a asrock for the ryzen processor and he keeps having to go back to the asus board.
lol ok I'm dumb. . thought that was an ASUS board.
People have been telling me to get an asus board all day and I pick the wrong brand.
Here's the link to the final build. HAL 2.0 - eric9000ks Saved Part List - Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz 6-Core, GeForce GT 1030 2GB Low Profile, 750D ATX Full Tower - PCPartPicker Canada
I'm going to start buying as soon as this evening. Would really appreciate a final stamp of approval, will mark as solved and be on my way.

to be honest this last build you have there i don't think i'd change a thing, and it's 800 cheaper.
Should be a nice board.....the build I did for my wife is on an ASROCK board and it is solid......
My 2 cents: First no need for a low profile GPU with that nice tower. Next, I would switch out the GTX 1030 to at lease a minimum of a GTX 1060. For $100 more you can't go wrong. Next, upgrade your PSU to 750 watts.
I've been advised to get the Black Edition of the HDD instead of Gold, which bumps the price up another 30 bucks...
Other than that the list was missing external storage, must have been tinkering with two copies. I think I've got it all consolidated. Added WD Elements 2 TB backup drive for $130Yeah! I'm pumped about it now. I was totally lost this morning (obviously) but am feeling pretty confidentabout this now. Thx for the advice.
The system is at 209 W as is, but I'm going to make s'more changes in the years to come.
If anything I was considering downgrading the power supply. lol
Ok I had a look at the 1060 models and the cheapest on the list was like 250 or something, compared to the 90 dollar unit I have. Gonna be honest, on this, I am going to cheap out. Will I regret it later?(only Steve Jobs knows)
----LAST QUESTION----
I get a compatibility note that my SSD shares bandwidth with 2 SATA ports thus effectively disabling them as long as the SSD is installed. Is this correct? Do I need to worry about this? It should be a simple thing to just search up and figure out on my own but I don't want to arrive at the wrong answer through carelessness, so better just ask. I guess it's a simple matter of knowing how many ports are available and how many I intend to use.
Another question - nobody thinks I should add at least one more fan?
Here's the most current parts list...after considering all recommendations. The compatibility warning is visible at the bottom.

A grand total of 1873 CDN. Not bad! Thanks to all for the advice.
my specs are lower that that and i know they push 450 watts when i had just two more internal hdd's,cause in less than a year i replace two good psu's cause of too heavy a load. if anything with a psu go for the overkill so if you add anything else internally the psu won't get overloaded.
