So current build strategy. Tell me if you see any faults.
Things I already have
H100i
Radeon VII
Things I ordered just because
Fractal Design Nano S (black no window)
SF800LTI (Sold myself on the Nano before I realized how close the GPU would sit next to the PSU. This should create a significant gap.)
2x16 of Samsung B Die 3200 (this is a choice more for my other system, it has 32GB of the exact same memory in it. If I upgrade it to the 16c chip later, Ill move this over and go for a higher clocked memory for this system).
The parts I will get after release.
CPU: 3800x (I will be swaying back and forth till reviews on this and the 3900x,, but I feel the 3800x is where I will land).
HDD: 10TB Hitachi
SSD: 970 Pro 1-2 TB, or PCIe 4.0 NVME drive if one launches and seems really good. Don't know if I can trust all the Phison drives that have been shown.
Mobo: X570 Phantom Gaming-ITX TB3
Setup. This will be a tabletop PC. It will be considerably larger the then M1 based system I am currently using. But for a couple reasons wanted to pull back from going that small again. That's why the case is what it is. Still a tower config. A little bloated. But not Mid or full tower bloated. The plan is to use the H100i as a filtered front intake and a single rear fan as the exhaust (positive pressure build).
One unique question that sticks out is, should I replace the Corsair H100i fans? I am thinking Noctua. If so what fans are a good replacement for this. The idea is this will be a bedroom gaming system. It will generally be off when not in use but there will be times that I am running it while I sleep. This isn't terrible on the M1. But there is a lot of room for improvement.
