itx build; sanity check

[prawncrackericecream]

hey guys

not built a pc for a million years so am just looking to get this checked over and ensure i've not screwed things up!

am mainly looking to use this for iRacing but want to be able to run any new games at 1440p.
am looking to have something small and quiet - my old pc was massive and noisy.

my main concern is that the graphics card will fit okay.
case says max 320mm and has 3 expansion slots.
gpu is 313mm and 2.7 - so snug but okay, right?

i guess the other thing is cooling - will the slim cpu cooler be enough?
and just the two fans will be sufficient for general air flow?

any advice greatly appreciated.

Nothing wrong with your choices but can be improved like the CPU cooler which can accommodate higher powered cpus if you upgrade in the fiture.

2 more case fans total 4 to improve airflow .

GPU should fit

I swapped the CPU to the 7600 non-X, since the non-X CPUs tend to run a little bit cooler and use less power, for little performance loss.

I have changed to a 240mm AIO, which is not strictly necessary (you can air cool a 7600).

case says max 320mm and has 3 expansion slots.
gpu is 313mm and 2.7 - so snug but okay, right?

TPU measured it in their review here. It looks to be very tight, I've swapped cases which gets you 355mm and compatibility with standard ATX PSUs. It is less compact though, so that's the trade.

(i know some of the bits are on pre-order)

I changed the motherboard and PSU and everything in my spec is in stock.

thanks fellas, appreciate the comments.

Pity OCUK don't stock the NR200P MAX with it's included AIO + PSU as it's discounted elsewhere currently and looks smarter than the Phanteks P200 in black IMHO of course. Something to consider. Should fit that GPU easily comparing to my 4080 FE.

Looks good to me.
