Building my first sffpc to move away from my Helios 300 laptop, some questions
Requirements:
Full time software dev, I run vms for testing, so 16 core with high single core performance is needed.
Must run my oculus rift fine and general 1080p gaming
2x m.2 + sata ssd (optional)
32gb ram
As small as possible. Plan on traveling a lot.
Budget:
Plan on using this build for next 5 years with a gpu upgrade if required, so money isn't tight.
2k to 3k$
This is what I have decided on
Case: Velka 3
Cpu: R9 5950x
Cpu cooler: Noctua L9a AM4
Mobo: Asus Strix 570i
Gpu: Rtx 2070 mini (Might not buy now but later when in stock)
Psu: Silverstone 500 or Fxp 400, please recommend.
Ram: 32x1 or 16x2? Please recommend.

Questions:
1. How much performance am I compromising compared to a same but full sized build?
2. What would be the best psu for me in terms of noise. Optimum tech recommended fsp 400, but linus used a Silverstone 500.
3. Will the R9 5950x bottleneck with my mentioned cpu cooler or psu
4. Can I run 2 external monitors with my Asus 570i without a dedicated gpu? I see it has hdmi and dp ports.
5. None of these parts are available in my country and I'm importing all of it, so if you can verify my build is compatible or suggest an alternate build which definitely is, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you for reading my long post. I appreciate your time.
