Hello Community,
I would like to thank [USER=9]@dondan[/USER] for providing the example hardware configurations^ as well as for the design of the case. I also would like to thank the rest of the community for overall guidance on this journey.
With this in mind I would like to give back and share a working configuration that I was able to get my hands on as of September 2021 (and in my opinion components listed were not overall overpriced). This configuration was extensively tested and there are no temperature/overheating issues or installation issues (no cutting).
MB: ASUS ROG Strix B550-I Gaming (90MB14L0-M0EAY0)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor. Note: The CPU was working fine also in semi-ECO mode where I manually limited it to something like 80W TDP within the BIOS. Potentially the full 105W might be working as well.
COOLING: Noctua NH-L9a-AM4. The CPU fan was removed and used at the bottom of the case (15mm). The CPU cooler actually uses a taller fan model Noctua NF-A9 PWM. It fits but it's gently touching the case. Probably higher performance than the original fan.
SSD: M.2/NVMe Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB + SATA Crucial MX500 1TB. Note: There is sufficient space for a SATA HDD at the bottom of the case but I don't have the need for it. The SSD are really cheap nowadays.
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT EAGLE 8G (GV-R66XTEAGLE-8GD). Note: No issues at all temperature or size wise. Power of Radeon RX 5700 XT for almost half the TDP.
PSU: Corsair SF Series SF750 80 PLUS Platinum 750W SFX12V (CP-9020186-EU). Probably an overkill and the 600W or even 450W would suffice.
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX black DIMM kit 32GB, DDR4-3200, CL16-20-20-38 (CMK32GX4M2E3200C16)
