Hi everyone I'm completely new to building a PC so I'm building a gaming PC for VR and coming away from my Xbox X.

I'm building a full tower or more than likely a mid tower.
Ive been through Asus web sites on the Maximus X compare. I have decided for a game system the Hero would help me better for gaming. Ill get the lights, fans and AIO water coolers I'm wanting.

Question 1. Would her be the better of the Maximus series for me.
Question 2. What's the difference between the ROG Strix A, E,G,H and so on. The main differences.
Question 3. Between the Maximus Hero X and the ROG Strix, is there a specific reason or differences to choose one over the other.

Sorry for any stupid questions.

And thank you for the help.

Outside the obvious items in the spec sheets and on the product pages, the Hero is a bit more robust for overclocking due to a beefier power circuit.
