I am looking for help with my first-ever SFF build. My usage is mostly for data analytics, lite creator works (Adobe Creative Suite), and gaming at 4K. All key tentative components/ options are listed below. I am more than appreciative to take any feedback/advice from experienced members.
-
CPU: i5 14600K; Should I go with the new i5 14600/ 14500 for better heat management?
-
MB: MSI B760I EDGE WIFI DDR5
-
GPU: MSI RTX 4070 Ti Super 16G GAMING X SLIM at 307 x 125 x 51 mm. This one is fixed, as I pre-ordered and paid already. Arrive on Jan 25, super excited for this one (upgrade from RX 480)
-
Case: Fractal Terra. An alternative is Cooler Master MasterBox NR200P MAX, yet I heard several issues with its AIO & CPU overheating. Cooler Master NR 200 or NR 200P Mini ITX are other options.
-
PSU: CoolerMaster V750 SFX - 80 Plus Gold - Full Modular. I just randomly pick a PSU that fits. Better options may be available.
-
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-L12S, don't know if this will fit. Per Fractal Terra manual, the position I need to set to is "3" with the GPU above, giving CPU clearance only of 67 mm. I assume 67mm is the height of both the metal and the fan together. Alternative is Noctua NH - L9i - 17xx

Case fan: Noctua NF-A12x15 PWM as exhaust fan (recommended by many threads in Reddit)
