Gigabyte Z170N mITX....USB Hub ok? Some other gaming system questions

[Mithan]

This mITX motherboard appears to have everything I want on it, expect that it only has 4 USB ports the back.

Question 1:
Can I add a powered USB hub and work fine or am I going to introduce some weird latency issues that will affect things.

Basically, I would have the following connected:
-Razor Blackwidow Keyboard
-Razor Nagga Mouse
-HP Printer
-Microsoft Camera
-SD/SDHC Memory Card Hub
-Another 4 port USB Hub I keep on my desktop for easy access for USB Thumb Drives
-Xbox 360 Controller
-Going to take my Blu-Ray Burner and turn it into a external drive, then use when I need it.

Question 2:
I am thinking of buying a eVGA 980 Ti SC+ and a Ci7 6700k for this thing, and turn it into a real fast and small gaming system, probably using that Corsair Cube Case (the smaller one).

Is this fine?

I want a small case. I am sick of my 10 year old Antec P160W. I effing hate huge crap now.

There should be headers for two front panel USB. I don't know about the latency, but if you just put keyboard/mouse/controller on the 3 USBs, then the rest on the powered hub, I don't think you'd care much about what little latency there might be on the printer/web cam/blu-ray.

Or... why don't you just get one of the boards with more USB ports? EVGA and AsRock both have mini-ITX with 8 USB ports in the back.
