Hi all!

I need some help deciding on my first SFF build. Basically my first question lies in the case.. Should I go for a fractal Terra or a fractal Ridge? Chosen these two because I have some space and aesthetics restrictions due to my gf. :)

The Case will be placed on the Living room, and I intend to play from the couch on a large TV. Which is better in terms of noise levels and airflow?
I´m aiming at a slightly over budget-level build (range USD 1200-1500), any compatibility differences I should be aware? I largely intend to play RPGs (Cyberpunk, BG3)

Additional Context : Currently living in Brasil where hardware is super expensive(+20% . Travelling to Mexico and Spain on business so highly interested in picking some parts while there.

thanks!
