Even my pc will not play games at 60fps in many games, unless I dropped the details down to either medium or low.

So? No PC in existence gets 60fps in every game in the world.

Gigabyte boards and Asus boards have a habit of dieing after 16 months when you are overclocking on them, as the Sata ports start playing up, then the USB ports and eventually they stop picking up your ram and GPU's, from my experience.

Bollocks. Gigabyte and Asus make some of the most reliable boards around.
If you think your personal experience is representative, I know of several people including myself who have been running 50% overclocks on a Gigabyte board for 5 years, with all 10 SATA ports occupied and it still works flawlessly, even with the chipset heatsink cut in half and the northbridge running on a constant 70'c+
Given these 5 year old boards are still in high demand (mainly for overclocking second-hand Xeons) and selling on Ebay for £150+ I highly doubt they have a habit of dying.

The SSD should be upgraded to a 512Gb if you want games on it, as you can get a 512Gb now from Overclockers for £150, games are taking up more space on drives thanks to lazy developers.

I wouldn't call developers deliberately putting higher quality content, better resolution textures, and lossless audio into their games "lazy"

The cooler should be swapped for a H100i as it performs better, and you should swap the fans for some Noctua NF-F12's as they will make it perform better and be quieter than the stock fans.

A casual overclocker like the OP doesn't need water cooling at all.
