Hi all,

Great site :)

I am ordering parts for a streacom da2. I can see in this post https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/streacom-launches-the-da2.7598/page-40#post-168681 that it is possible to use a 2.5 slot GPU. However, having read a lot of that post I know that it can be a challenge to build in. While looking at GPU's I have found an ASUS GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER ROG Strix EVO Gaming Advanced on special but a 49mm high I am wondering if it is worth the hassle and I should just look for a 2 slot card. Quite a lot are out of stock in Australia at the moment though...... others in my price range include the ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER AMP and Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER Gaming OC 3X. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Planning on also getting a 3900x, 64gb of ram, and an asus x570 motherboard. It will be used for 4k editing. I was thinking of cooling like fabio's build https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/streacom-launches-the-da2.7598/page-37#post-150721 but as I can not get a C14s, only a u9s, I may use an AIO. Any advice on that would also be appreciated as this is my first SFF build.

Thanks!
