What do you think? Do you see any bottlenecks or budget balancing issues? I need it for CAD/CAM, 3D modelling, gaming (Cyberpunk, Witcher3 with raytracing, BG3)

The site says the cooler is not compatible, but according to noctua it is, if I mount the radiator underneath the cooling block.

Is the mainboard ok? I don’t see the benefits of the more expensive ones. All they have is PCI 5.0, which the GPU doesn’t utilise, and the riser card for the Terra is also only PCI 4.0

    Thanks for the info. I’d love to see more if your build! Maybe you can even make a public post instead of a PM?

    I don’t really worry about fitting it all in there… If the cooler takes too much space, I have zero inhibitions to cut a hole into the side panel. Hell, I have a CNC that can cut aluminium and a 3D printer, so I can probably machine a custom side panel if need be.

    Edit: I suggest a ModDIY 12VHPWR cable as they are highly flexible and prevent the seating issues and thus fire.

    Important info, as I also enjoy not having my house burn down. ; )
